That's nonsense that the vet is telling you. You should worry.
Get a new vet immediately and your pet examined!! Perhaps the vaccine is bad or the doctor put the shot somewhere bad like a nerve.
Report the vaccine to the manufacturer or an authority to save other people's pets. Report the vet, if you think he did something wrong.
Reactions to shots need not happen in 20-30 minutes, they can happen later.

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.
So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.
Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.
A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
Heal your ankle fully & fast?

He needs to go to a vet.
It could be unrelated to the vaccine (Especially considering that an allergic reaction wouldn't likely show up in a dog's ankle when compared to the injection site.) and it could be serious.
Are there any wounds? Like a spider bite or similar? It could be sprained, broken, or maybe just infected.
Just because he doesn't act like he's in pain doesn't mean he's not.

vaccine reactions usually happen within 30 mins. plus rabies is not given in the ankle or hock area. if it's swollen and he can't walk on it, take the poor pooch to the vet. he could have injured this leg and needs to have a vet look at it. i doubt it has anything to do with the vaccine, but you definatly need to seek veterinary advice if the dog hasn't improved any in 3 days.
good luck.

Take that poor baby to a different veterinarian! If it's swollen -- That's not normal.
