100% effective: It is effective, the pill had 9 hours to absorb into the body and was out of the stomach by the time you vomited.

Probably but...: Probably you are ok to not count this as a missed pill BUT everyone's body metabolizes medication in its own way. To be on the safe side take another pill with food today.
