Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Pentavalent vaccine is having dpt as a component which causes pain and fever.
Painless variety having acellular pertusis is now not being marketed.
Regarding govt and private it is your personal preference.
But it is better if you get it done by a pediatrician.
Hope this helps.
Take care
