I would call the vet. I think this is going on too long if this is from the 24th. Better safe than sorry. What medication were you given for the roundworms? When Barney was a pup he had live roundworms in his stool - he took one pill of Heartguard (a once a month pill) and he had live worms for one day then all he had was some dead ones the next day and that ended it. I don't like that you are saying he is not acting right and not drinking. These babies can dehydrate and go downhill fast. I never wait things out, it's not my comfort level, and I'd rather a vet tell me things are OK.
Regarding the vaccines - I too think the Emergency Vet clinic gave you accurate information. I personally follow the AAHA guidelines on vaccines on core vaccines and do non-core vaccines any longer. None of my three have ever had an adverse reaction to a vaccine.
