Lola has always been sensitive in the area she has received the shot and a few times she has thrown up. So my suggestion is to do what I do, have the vet give her an injection of Benadryl about 20-30 min before the shot. This has eliminated any adverse reactions. I also like to have shots done early hours before the office closes and then hang out at or around the vets office just in case of a problem. One time because of her vomiting I had to go rushing back and they said she was running a fever, so they had to treat her for that. Had I gone late in the day I would have had to go to the ER vet which is further and of course much more expensive. Also only get one type of shot at a time. Most likely your pup will be fine but I figure I want to take all the precautions possible. if you want the Benadryl call your vet today since you might need to arrive earlier than your appointment time. Good luck
also don't get the shot then take the dog home and go right out, you should stick around just to see how she does, these little ones can be very sensitive and while most dogs have no problems I have read a lot on here about dogs that do
