Rick:
From what I understand on this matter, you are totally wrong.
The other accellular DTaP (excluding NVX) use pieces of the killed
cell of the pertussis bacteria to stimulate the
immuned response. NVX is the only one that uses a highly purified
concentrated toxoid to produce the immune response. THe idea of
using the toxoid (NVX) was used in order to eliminate the major
side effects. As a matter of fact, this was the biggest controversy
before the trials started whether a toxoid could stimulate sufficient
immune response and now we see it can.
