I have seen this quite a few times in elderly people after the flu jab. He does need to see his GP who will more than likely say that it's nothing to do with the flu jab but I'm not convinced as I see too much of this to be a coincidence. Make sure he is adequately hydrated & fed as he may not have been looking after himself if he was feeling rough. I wish you well.
