Oh wow...poor baby.
A long time breeder friend always gives their dogs benedryl as a preventative before any injection. Sounds like the vet is definitely doing preventative measures. Something else to consider...whatever caused the reaction in his DHPP vaccine isn't in the rabies. Allergic reactions generally happen quickly as you found out...you could just wait afterward.
I understand...I'd be nervous too. I get nervous and none of mine have ever had a reaction.
