I am not aware of any such case reports, the only neurological concern with the FLU vaccine is potential for GBS, which is also debatable. I would advise that you get back to your attending pediatrician, and get this problem checked in detail, to establish the cause of this behaviour and the causal link with FLU vaccine,

Please ACCEPT the reply (by pressing the GREEN accept button), and give a BONUS if it was useful. If you need more information, just let me know.
