These are all signs that your kitty may be having reactions to one of more of the vaccinations he was given. If he suddenly gets sicker or isn't himself by tomorrow, I would definitely give the vet a call.

I responded to a post similar to yours a few days a go and here is the answer I gave them...
It is normal for them to show flu-like symptoms after receiving the vaccines. However, they should be eating and drinking within 24 hours of the shot. If not, call your vet. Also, consider spacing the vaccines at least one week apart rather than giving them all together. If your cat is going to be strictly indoor (and you do not have a FeLV + cat in the house) then ONLY get the FVRCP and Rabies vaccine (this is given at 4 months). DO NOT let your vet talk you into giving other vaccines. They are not needed.

Definitely call the vet. I had the same symptoms after that shot and mommy thought I was fine until it didn't let up for a couple of days. I ended up spending five days in the hospital and nearly died because I was having a reaction.
