It could be that Peppa isn't feeling well, and may be more lethargic than usual. I'm not sure if this started right after she got her shots or a few days later. If it happened a day or two later, this will not be related to getting her vaccines. Given that she is eating and drinking, I wouldn't be too concerned just yet. Keep an eye on her for now, and if this behavior continues or she develops other signs such as vomiting, anorexia, or diarrhea, then take her back into the vet for an exam. Best of luck, I hope this helps.
