First immunisations and not feeding

He’s 9 weeks and had his first lot of jabs at 1pm today. For the past 4 hours he’s been very unhappy and has refused to feed(exclusively breastfed) which is completely out of character as he feeds very frequently. His temp at its highest has been 38.2 and I’m giving regular Calpol. It’s 37.8 now.
how can I encourage him to feed as I’m worried about dehydration? He seems to have tummy ache and his tummy was gurgling before

One of my 3 did this.

Lots of skin to skin, keep up the Calpol and offer the breast often. Be careful not to hold them on the injection sites while trying to feed.

They'll probably make up for it tomorrow
