After service; a passenger onboard became ill vomiting between the aft lavatories and stated she had experienced shortness of breath earlier in the day. Passenger condition improved after vomiting so we opted not to page for medical assistance in order to keep from unnecessarily exposing other passengers in case it was contagious. I was picking up trash at row six when this occurred. D FA signaled for A FA to come to the back. Both D FA and A FA were vomited on; lightly. They retrieved the clean-up kit and cleaned themselves and the area to the best of their abilities while also tending to the passenger. A FA and I decided to switch positions; thoroughly briefing our changes in responsibilities; in an effort to keep me from being exposed. I stayed up front taking care of F; the pilots; and supporting D FA and A FA to the best of my abilities. I landed in A FA jumpseat; A FA landed in my jumpseat; and D FA had to take the E/F jumpseat since the C jumpseat was contaminated with vomit. We debriefed with base manager and D FA and A FA completed the exposure forms. We called the paramedics and had them check on the passenger. She was released after being evaluated.
