here's the ingredients:
MMR — live measles virus, live mumps virus, live rubella virus, chick embryo, human foetal cells, neomycin, sorbitol, gelatine.
DPT — diptheria bacterium, pertussis organisms, tetanus toxoid, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, formaldehyde, hydrochloric acid, aluminium and mercury
from http://www.vaclib.org/basic/vacingredient.htm
Here's some reactions from the mmr (scroll down a bit) http://thinktwice.com/mmr.htm
Reactions to DTP DPT vaccine has been associated with allergic reactions and with encephalopathy, both of which are rare but severe conditions. Other risks are common but minor:
redness, irritation, and itching at injection site
fever
loss of appetite
drowsiness
irritability

I'm not sure where they will put it since we don't vaccinate, I would hope they would put one in each arm, so if there is a reaction you would know which one did it.
You don't have to do this to get into school, you can find exemption links at this site http://www.vaccinetruth.com/
Depending on state you can claim a medical (from reactions), philosophical, or religious exemption. We file under religious because we do not agree with aborted babies (see human diploid cells in ingredients of MMR) being used in vaccines.

they go into the muscle and can go in either arm or backside or in the case of my little guys they did it in their thighs. It may hurt a bit going in and may be tender for a day. Put ice packs on and take some tylenol if it does bother you.
Now as for what will happen if you don't? My guess is that you won't be allowed to attend school I know you can't here. You could get mumps, measles or rubella; or dipptheria, tetnus or pertussis. All of which would be more painful then the shot.
Infants to age 5 get these shots all the time. I'm sure you can handle it.

These are given IM or intramuscular, into a muscle usually the upper arm but the larger muscles of the buttocks can also be used. They are not fatal although as with any medical procedure they do carry a tiny risk. Relax.

Although they carry a very slight risk, they prevent potentially fatal diseases. Ask your doctor/nurse to explain the risks and benefits carefully (but don't hold up the line). Also, you may not be allowed into school without proper vaccinations.

I just read Kevin Tradeu's books Natural Cures and he states that the P in DTP is not good.
