Hello. Typical reasons that a young puppy would be vomiting are intestinal parasites, a gastrointestinal viral or vacterial infection or from eating inappropriate things. Side effects of a vaccination are typically a mild fever and soreness at the injection site. I would strongly recommend that your puppy be examined by a veterinarian ASAP to check for parasites or infections. Puppies this young can get dehydrated and much sicker in a very short amount of time if the problem is not addressed right away.
