I can't think of any medical reason for that. However, I'd make sure your dog has calmed down from the vet trip before further stressing him out with a bath.
I'd wait a couple of days, just to be sure the dog has not any side effect from the vaccine. That's why I usually give my dog a bath the day before the vet's appointment.
You can bathe your dog immediately following vaccination, as long as your dog does not have a history of allergic reactions to vaccinations. Redness and swelling around the vaccination site are possible side effects, and some people warn not to bathe up to 1 week after a dog recieves a vaccination to rule out a reaction to the vaccine instead of a reaction to any kind of shampoo you may use on the dog.
Bathing your dog dose not interfere with the rabies vaccine..Your dog may be tender at the injection site but that's it....You can bathe your dog when every you want..
