I have a Dalmatian pup 45 days old. Today I gave the first vaccine around 2 hours back, that part swelled up little bit and he's crying if anything gets touch with that part

No worries. Pets are normally sore for the first 24 hrs following vaccinations. Just avoid touching the area and do a cold compress for 5 mins if tolerated. And the swelling (if a small bump) is the vaccine contents under the skin, this will go down gradually within the next couple of weeks.
