Depends: Depends what caused the emesis. If it was caused by food poisoning and you ate the same food then sure, you might get the same thing. If they are coming down with a GI virus and you were in close contact with them there could be some contagion. If you didn't come in contact with either of them your chances of avoiding this would be better. Time will tell.
