If my kids vomit more than once they go on a cycle we've developed over the course of having five young children. First time, maybe a fluke. Check for other signs of illness, heat sickness, what did they eat recently, fever etc. Second time they get no food or water for two hours. Then small sips of water/Pedialyte If they don't vomit after the liquid they can eat a few bites of BRAT (banana rice applesauce or toast) if they do, wait another hour or two and repeat. If they're still vomitting after 6+ hours, depending on the child's age, we'll call the pediatrician and ask for advice. If they're still not keeping even liquids down after 8+ hours (again depending on age) we take them to the ER after consulting with the pediatrician again. We've only had to do that once. If at any time the child shows signs of dehydration we skip to the last step. Source - have 5 kids.
