Vaccine related
My girl baby is 15 weeks old. During 6th week vaccination as per a doctor's suggestion, she was given the painless costly vaccine. During 10th week, she was vaccinated in government hospital (painful fever vaccine). I preferred painful fever vaccine because some people said it has higher immunity than painless vaccine. Now for the 14th week vaccine i consulted a doctor and she said it's bad to switch painless and painful vaccines and she can only give painless vaccine to my baby. So I am worried that I did something terribly wrong to my baby. I don't know which vaccination should I give her in 14th week. can i vaccinate her the painful vaccine itself or switch it back to painless vaccine? Please help with suggestions

The so called Painless DTaP and painful DTwP is interchangeable. No problems if you switch between the two. This time also you should give DTwP (painful ) as it's protection lasts longer as per studies.
