Thanks Dr..
1. He had vomited yesterday 7.30 PM & mid night (Bright Yellowish Liquid) like (Image attached). but from today morning till now, no vomit...
2. But have some temperature around 101.7 F & he is not able to take food properly.
3. Also there are 6 sutures done in wounded area. so he is not able to walk properly. (Wound pictures attached)

Is this normal (or) any side effects of Vaccine..? do we need to take any Rabbis test further?
