Within a timeframe

The structure seems clear: a las dos horas  de = within two hours of; a los tres años de = within three years of, etc.  The question was this, though:

 ________, tuve que llamar al médico.

Within 2 hours of being sick, I had to call the doctor.My answer was: a las dos horas de vomitar, whereas the correct answer was a las dos horas vomitar.  ¿Por qué?
