Painless or Painful Vaccine?

Hi doctor, My baby is 45 days old. During vaccination, which type we should choose? Painless or painful? These days hospitals are asking it before giving a vaccine. What is the downside of giving a painless vaccine? As a parent, obviously we want to see less/no pain. Not sure what the exact difference is here.
