Vaccinations

Is it better for infants to take vaccinations at a paediatrician or at a polyclinic? Is there any difference other than the fees and price? For example, is it less painful for lo?

My friend advised that the main difference between the pd and polyclinic other than the price would be the combination jabs. For example poly gives 5in1 and hep b separately, but my pd gives 6in1 (this means baby takes 1 jab less). Poly also gives mmr and chickenpox separately, but pd will give mmrv. Poly usually have all the optional vaccines as well (except for hepA when I compared). I felt that the effectiveness of the vaccines should be similar and went for the polyclinic coz it's more affordable!
