At 6 weeks, IAP recommends 2 injections and 1 oral vaccine The 1st inj is Hexavalent vaccine (6 diseases are covered DPT + HIB + Hep B + IPV). Painless is a wrong term because it's not zero pain. There is less chance of pain but not zero. There are few brands available. The printed price of gsk brand called infanrix hexa is around 3100 rs. There are other brands.
The second inj is pneumococcal vaccine (pcv). The gsk brand called synflorix and printed price is 2400 rs. There is another brand.
Rotavirus oral vaccine - brand rotateq cost is around 1200 rs.
Total cost as per mrp world be 6700. This question is not so simple to answer on this forum as there are many options. Please contact directly

Good morning,
Vaccines are personal choices - painless vs painful.
All government hospitals are giving free vaccines but they are painful vaccines.
Private sector - painless vaccines available with a price.
Take care.
