Painless vaccine doesnot mean that the injection prick will not hurt. It means that the pain after the vaccination which is normally there for 48 hours after dpt vaccine is given ,is comparatively less. Yes after painless vaccine ,painful vaccine can be given next time.

Painless vaccine per se doesn’t reduce pain while administering the injection but reduces the pain, fever etc caused following vaccination. You can give normal vaccine at a later time.
