I just took my daughter in yesterday for her 15 month shots. She got Hib, DTap and Hep A. She has never received the Hep A before. Her shots were given around 5pm and by 7, she had no appetite. She went to bed about 8:30pm and she woke up at 11pm screaming her head off but with no fever. She finally fell asleep. Then at 4am, she woke up again, only this time she was vomiting! I called the after hour clinic and spoke with a nurse that insisted that she must of caught a bug from somewhere. So that answer didn't set well with me, so when my doctor's office opened I called and spoke with the nurse there. She said the same thing the other nurse had. Well, my daughter doesn't go to daycare, and when we go grocery shopping, I wipe down the cart with a disinfectant wipe. So I know it had to be from the immunizations. Now this is her first time vomiting after receiving them, but I am sure its the shots. Only parents know their kids, and I know when my daughter is sick. And she isn't sick! Today, she didnt eat all of her breakfast like she usually does, but she seems to be doing ok and she is active a little but slightly fussy. But I am still keeping a close eye on her. If you have any quotes, or a simular story, please let me know! Thanks.

Of course they can vomit after a shot. You are essentially infecting your child with a low dose of the virus so your child can build antibodies. Didn't they do any immunization education with you and tell about the possible effects from the shots?

I can't get it to come up but the cdc has the side effects for each shot that you're going to get.

They did go over every side effect with me, gave me sheets on what she was getting, but they said that vomiting isn't a side effect. Two Nurses said that. So I think they are the ones that need to do a little research.

Well that goes without saying. Obviously they didn't go over it carefully enough. The CDC as well as the drug makers list vomiting right there on their websites. But rest assured vomiting is a normal and fairly common side effect. (Common meaning that not everyone gets it but that of those who do have side effects, vomiting is pretty common.)
