You might be having a minor reaction to the shot. Keep close tabs on it and if it gets worse, go to your doctor and have him/ her look at it. Also, if the person giving the shot was a little rough, they could have hit a nerve and that, too, can cause swelling and redness.

Hepatitis C vaccine?  There is no such thing.  There are Hepatitis A and B vaccines at this time.  

As SassyLassie stated, keep an eye on.  Sounds like a localized reaction and should resolve within less than a week/7 days.  Try ice and an anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen.  If you notice it is getting worse and/or you are experiencing other symptoms that you think are related to the vaccination, please NOTIFY you physician ASAP.
