Oral vaccine formulations are disclosed having microparticles sized such that at least 50% of the microparticles are less than 5 µm, preferably less than 3 µm, the microparticles containing antigen entrapped or encapsulated, such as by a solvent evaporation method, by a biodegradable polymer, such as poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolide). Additionally, oral vaccine formulations are disclosed having nanoparticles sized such that at least 50% of the microparticles are less than 600nm, preferably less than 500nm, the nanoparticles containing antigen entrapped or encapsulated, such as by a coacervation method, by a biodegradable polymer, such as poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolide). Protective vaccine formulations containing the B. pertussis antigens PTd or a combination of PTd and FHA are provided.
