Suggest Remedy For Painful Sensation After Vaccination

Hello doctor,
I have a six week old baby and got his first series of vaccinations done yesterday. The doctor strongly recommended the regular vaccination (painful not painless) inspite of my requesting for the painless one. Following this my child was in considerable pain & discomfort for quite a long time. I just want to know if the painless ones are banned in India / harmful in any manner & if not, can I insist on them for the next series of shots ?
Thanks
