I'd say you read it really precisely. Though mostly it should be a non-critical detail, no real game-breaker... ;)
My interpretation would also be that for non-major-wounds to the head or vitals, like the lowest 1 HP damage for normal humans, there is shock (-1 in the example) and a knockdown roll, but the latter not penalized.


quote from B420: "Whenever you suffer a major wound, and whenever you are struck in the head (skull, face, or eye) or vitals for enough injury to cause a shock penalty (see Shock, p. 419), you must make an immediate HT roll to avoid knockdown and stunning."
