Poor Lily! It is a little concerning that she is vomiting, and eating grass can be a sign of nausea in dogs. Unfortunately given her young age and the fact that she isn't fully vaccinated, there is always a chance it could be something worse causing her vomiting. I'm not sure how many times she has vomited, but to be safe, I think having her seen by a vet today would be best. The vet can diagnose the cause of her vomiting, and can treat her for it. Best of luck.
