Need insight-possible vaccine reaction or something else?

While I wait for the Vet to call back I thought I would get my DK friends opinion/advice. Sorry if this is long-Snickers had his yearly vaccinations on Friday, (please no debates on vaccines vs non vaccines) He was understandably a bit tired Friday and had a sore rump where they had done the shots. On Saturday he was still lethargic but ate fine, did his business fine and played later in the afternoon (according to my DH as I was not home). On Sunday he woke up and was very excited to see me as I had a wedding the previous day and got home late and just said hello really quickly to him the night before. So he was really excited/jumping etc and all of sudden just started hacking something terrible, at first I thought he was going to throw up, but he didn’t-but these hacks racked his whole body. Then as soon as it started it was over-Monday he was fine. Then this morning he wakes up and same thing excited to see us and starts hacking and hacking until the biggest glob of mucus comes up-I mean it was A LOT-he then seemed tired but he ate his breakfast and settled into his morning routine (which is a quick nap before his long walk with Dad). So….is this a reaction to the vaccination? Something else? He has never had this issue before (though he did have Kennel Cough twice when he was puppy which had the hacking but no mucus) Any insight most appreciated.

Quick update while he is still tired and coughing we saw a glimpse of our Snickers today as he had enough energy to go upstairs and steal a sock! He is sleeping peacefully now ( must have taken all his energy to be mischievous :). DH is taking him for a short walk later today to see how he does.
