hi,
as there is around 1% failure rate for emergency contraceptive pills and that too as she vomited after taking the pills,
better to check for pregnancy once if she doesn't get periods on expected date,
depending on the result you can proceed further,
but frequent taking of emergency pills can affect menstrual cycles, so better to shift to regular method of contraception.
