Without knowing the type of injection, it is difficult for me to say if one has anything to do with another. If it was a simple vaccination, this can be a pretty typical side effect from something like this. I wouldn't worry as long as the refusal to eat doesn't last greater than 24 hours. If you want, you can try offering something like hamburger, tuna, or chicken just to whet his appetite. Just don't give too much as you may cause some diarrhea in such a young kitty. Hope this helps!
