flu shot

I have a question for all of you. My husband was just able to get his flu shot on Tuesday. His doctors recommended it last fall but due to illness and availability he just received it. Anyway, today his labs were off. Last week were the best we have ever had. Today he saw a big decrease in his wbc and neutrophils. It went down to 2.8 from 3.7 and his neutrophils were 224. That is the lowest they have been in months. We have been in the thousands. Could this be a response to the flu shot????? The rest of his labs went up. Platelets were 88 from 72 and hemoglobin was 12.0 from 11.2. Unfortunately his creatinine went up too to 1.86 from 1.7. I would appreciate any guidance because that 224 is scary.
