My cat is vomiting & has diarrhea after vet shots. Is this normal?

Question

Just returned from a vet clinic where my 2 year old female cat was given a rabies, FVRCP, round/heartworm dewormer and feline leukemia vaccines. I kept her isolated and quiet for an hour and when I checked on her, she had thrown up and had sporadic diarrhea all over the room. She rested a little longer, & then drank some water. She then threw up the water about 5 minutes later. She's also scratching her nose like it itches. I see no signs of lethargy, but she is licking her lips a lot. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 2 years and 7 months old | 11 lbs

The vomiting might be from the trip to the vet, the diarrhea might have been from stress. monitor her in the next 24 hours, if those symptoms do not stop you will need to take her back to the vet in order to get it treated.
