My 9 weeks old Siberian husky started pooing worms after 5 hours of giving him his first deworming pill, and he took his first shots the day before and the vet checked him and said he is very healthy abd after the deworming pill my dog started always feeling tired and always sleeping even though he is always hipper.

Sometimes after a round of vaccines and dewormer, your dog may get sick. (fever, diarrhea, and vomiting)
After deworming it is completely normal for worms to come out in his feces. It is proof that the dewormer is working and the worms coming out should be dead. In any case, I would advise you to pick up the poop so the dog does not ingest the poop and worms. Some may not be dead. If the dog starts behaving lethargic and is looking pale in the gums then you should contact your vet immediately.

Yup, it's totally normal for your dog to eliminate all the dead worms. Not much more I can add to the above post. Make sure to continue with your monthly worm treatments, at least for 6 months. I don't normally dose every month in winter months, but it summer and spring I dose every month. It's especially important to pick up all feces, because worms and eggs can lay dormant in colder temps and hatch and reinfect when it starts to warm up.
