in fact I'm not sure it's related to the vaccine at all.

It could be he has an underlying condition he is just now noticing because he's being hyper alert to what's up with his body.

I'd recommend calling his general practitioner about this. Blood in the stool could be anything from hemmorhoids to an ulcer to something more serious. When was the last time he had a check-up?

A friend of mine was in a serious car accident years ago. While being treated for the accident (surgery followed by rehab) he mentioned a symptom to his doctor, thinking it had something to do with the accident. It turns out he had colon cancer, which was caught early and removed via another surgery. The thing is--he never would have gone to the doctor if it hadn't been for the car wreck. So, weirdly enough, being seriously injured in that accident probably saved his life.

I don't mean to get you or your family all upset and anxious, but it's better to be safe than sorry. If I was him I'd at least call my doctor and then act on her/his recommendation.
