Do you mean he has been diagnosed with Kennel cough or you have been for KC protection ?

If he has KC it is extremely contagious and you need to stay away from other dogs for quite some while . You should not any shows or ringcraft either until its cleared up completely because of this :(
Even when his physical symptoms have gone it is still contagious
Ring the vets tomorrow and ask to speak to him so that you know exactly what was said

Keep him away from all other dogs (walks, training, ringcraft, shows etc) for at least 21 days.

The injections and tablets will not clear this up immediately and as I mentioned earlier he will still be contagious to other dogs :(
that includes those he meets on his walk too
