What Causes Vomiting After Taking Vaccine Shots?
My 2 yr old daughter had an appointment to get shots on Wednesday. Today is Saturday and she is still not herself. She isn't really eating some vomiting more tired then usual. I called the 24 hour nurse line through my insurance company they said its common for about 3 days. I wanted to see if you thought the same. Also when she started getting "sick" (which is not common for her when she gets shots she is usually fine) I started to look at her shot record. She received the chicken pox shot on 10-22-2009 and then on Wednesday (7-28-2010) they gave her a second does of it. On her shot record it says she should get it twice but not till she is 4-6 yrs old. Should I be concerned? Is that maybe why she is feeling the way she is? Is it common to give the shot to a 2 yr old twice with in a year? If not what should I do? Will she be ok or will she get the chicken pox or something? I know I should call and talk to the Dr.'s office but I am afraid they wont tell me the truth because they will feel like I am trying to get them in trouble or something. So I wanted to ask someone else before I called them.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns but many things are not clear in your query
1. What vaccine did she get on Wednesday.
2.You have mentioned age of your child 2 year , it means she was born in 2012 , how can she get vaccinated in 2010 .
Answer that can help you
1. Slight tiredness and vomiting also can occur after vaccination.
2. Chickenpox First dose can be given after 1 year , usual age is 15 months , Second dose can be given any time 3 months after first , usual age is 4-6 years , but it can be given earlier also, it is safe and effective . As per AAP (american Academy of paediatrics) :- "Administer a 2-dose series of chikenpox vaccine at ages 12 through 15 months and 4 through 6 years. The second dose may be administered before age 4 years, provided at least 3 months have elapsed since the first dose."
