It’s always better to continue the same brand as there might be minor differences in the antigens in different vaccines by different companies.Both whole cell and acellular vaccines are used for pertussis.

It is desirable to continue with the same vaccine if first dose is started with one company. Can change over to another one if the same is unavailable
