Depending on the vaccine, they can do it in the rear quarters, or up by the scruff of the neck, near where the shoulder blades are, kind of. If you call your vet and ask where the injection was, that might ease your mind if it is from that. Some vets will immediately rub and massage the area they inject to prevent the lumps from happening. (spreads the fluid, I assume, not sure)
Someone also mentioned lipomas (fatty tumors, not cancerous). One of my older furkids had a lump the size of a golf ball on his rump, came out of no where. They cut it out and biopsied and only a fatty tumor.
