Hi, I have gone through your query and understand your concern. First be sure that blood in stools has nothing to do with vaccination or flu. Yes it's always an alarming sign though. The foremost possibility in a well doing infant like yours is ingestion of blood from cracks around nursing mothers nipple or bleed from infants nasopharyngeal tract. Kindly examine your nipples for any fissures, cracks etc. For conformation stool can be sent for Apt test. Anal fissures, fistula or Milk protein allergy are rare possibilities with this case scenario. May your child be blessed with health. Regards
