Answers:
Dogs can have three different types of vaccine reactions:
1.
Anaphylactice response鈥攚hat we like to call the collapsing puppy syndrome. This happens less than two percent of the time and is usually within ten to fifteen minutes.
2.
Allergic response鈥攚ith this reaction, the eyelids, nose, lips, and face puff up and the dogs get lumps (hives) all over their body. This reaction can occur within fifteen to thirty minutes, one to two hours later, or six to eight hours later. This reaction usually responds very well to benadryl.. Typical dosages: for dogs under 30 pounds, give 10 mg...dogs 30 to 50 pounds, give 25 mg...dogs over 50 pounds, give 50 mg. Use only the plain Benadryl formula.
3.
Delayed cellular response鈥攚ith this reaction, dogs get a lump on their body where the vaccine was given. This lump may occur within one to three weeks of the vaccination, is usually non-painful and may take one to two weeks to go away.

It sounds like your dog is having an allergic reaction to one of the shots. I would suggest calling an emergency vet center to ask if this might be one of those symptoms. I would also recommend getting an appointment with your vet ASAP. My dog has had these spots and we found that he is allergic to fleas, so he has to always have Frontline.
He had a really bad reaction to the vaccination. Do you know which vaccine is was (rabies? parvo?)? You need to call the vet immediately and talk to them. They may be able to just do a consult over the phone, or you may need to bring him into the vet office.
Bad reactions are quite common, but it seems like he might be having a more serious one. Some dogs actually die or fall seriously ill from vaccinations. Please call the vet ASAP
Talk to your veterinarian right away to be sure. If the puppy is shaking cover it up and cuddle it for security, your will see a good change.
It may be a reaction that is normal, and the puppy may need toast and milk .
Keep a positive attitude it usually helps the puppy feel better. If you show worry the puppy will worry. Just go upon your day normally while watching over the puppy.
Shots make me sick too, and I am a girl.
It sounds like he is having a reaction to the vaccinations.. I would take him back to the vet and get him to go over him... If you notice him getting any worse, very lethargic,etc.. I would make it an immediate trip.
It sounds like an allergic reaction -- call your vet and I mean RIGHT NOW. You might be able to treat it with Benedryl but CALL YOUR VET first. RUN to the phone!
