My child 10 week vaccination is due. In 6 week she had easy six. Now I changed my doc n dis doc suggested me to go for hexa. As its painless n 10 times more effective. Now I am confused. As my old doc said painless is not gud in long term. Its not gud for immunity.

In my opinion, vaccine (little painful) has a slightly better immunity during primary Immunization. IAP recommends it. One may opt painless vaccine at 18 months as a booster dose. I believe, practically, both are same.
