More than a reaction to the shots, it's likely she picked up a stomach bug in the waiting room. But do get her to the doctor ASAP. Good luck.

Take her to the doc asap! Dehydration in babies is a bad thing! It's obviously a reaction to the shots. Don't let the doc tell you it's normal. Since when is vomit itself normal. Also report the reaction on the VAERS site. Go, go, go!

If you can't get in today, soon, asap...take her to the emergency room.

Call your doctor! This is probably a reaction to her shots, and should be reported. But much more importantly, a 4 month old can easily and very quickly dehydrate. This is serious. Please don't wait for more responses- call your pediatrician now!
Good luck!!!

I also agree. This is not a response to the vaccine. It's something else. Have her seen right away!

Go to your doc's office or the ER. A 4month old can get dehydrated before you notice the signs...Call the doc, go there, see an er... anything...QUICK

I would call the Peds office now and ask to be seen immediately. I don't think that is normal AT ALL.

Best wishes

I would take her to the Doctor right away. Babies that young can dehydrate very quickly. Plus the vomiting does not seem normal.

Did she happen to get her rotovirus vaccine? If so, check to see which brand they used. The Rotarix brand has been recalled by the FDA. Rotateq should be ok. I don't think vomiting is a common reaction to
vaccines, but don't know for sure. Hope she gets better soon!
