Thanks for the query.
Major difference brtween two vaccine is painless contains polio and simple one contains hepatitis - b along with dtp & hib .
Fever might be there with simple vaccine for two days but with painless you can avoid fever.
Still i would suggest you to go for simple one as as it is more potent and immunity is long lasting, also it is cheaper.
Missing vaccines(polio) will be given separately .
