The rates of severe side reactions observed in Stockholm I and Italian Trials
are reported. Children vaccinated with the same DTPwc in both trials
experienced high fever and persistent crying more frequently than in any other
group, while similar rates for all the severe side reactions were observed
among DTaPs and DT vaccines. Recipients of different DTaP vaccines showed
similar rates of severe reactions, which did not differ from recipients of DT
vaccines, either in Sweden or Italy.
