Subject: reaction to booster

I took both of my girls to the vet for the distempter boosters, i
have read that it is common for them to react. but i was so hoping i
would not exprience it. They were vomiting and diareha bad, and very
very limp. the vet gave them the beneryl or whatever they use, and
slowly came around.
my question is why does this happen. did the vet do something or
could of done something to prevent this? or do they react bc of thier
immune system make up?,,,etc..
the vet did have difficulties give the shot to one of my girls, had
to stick her about 4 times. Is there a specific spot that the
booster should be adminsitered?? this time it was located in the back
below the scruf. they had thier rabbies done is aug and had no
reaction, this was at a different vet clinic. I questioning wether
or not i should go back.
i apologize for all the quesitons but i do not want to go through
that exprience again if i dont have to. it scared me a lot.
if anyone has any input for me i would apprecaite it so much.
