My puppy threw up after getting his shots. Does he need them again?

Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | unneutered | 5.2 lbs

My puppy had his 2nd set of shots and on the car ride home he threw up when we got home which was about 30 minutes, 2 out 3 were orally given to him he has been car sick before and during his shots he was nervous and shaking a lot so I was wondering if I would need to get him his shots again or will he be fine? Also after he vomited he was fine when we got home and has been fine ever since

Poor Rocky. No, rocky does not need to get the vaccines again. The vaccines absorb through the mouth so him vomiting will not affect them. I would recommend talking with your veterinarian to see if they can help give rocky medications to decrease his car sickness! Hope that helps
