Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM.
I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
Immunization vaccines itself can cause transient flu like symptoms that is probably what he is experiencing.
Give him plenty of water and paracetamol on as on when required basis.
This is my best opinion for you based on available details. If you any have further query, please ask me.
Stay Healthy
