My 4 Month Old Son Got Shots Today!

I took my son to get his shots today. Last time he got these shots at 2 months old, he got a low grade fever. Tonight when we came home he was fine, he got his shot at 3 pm. He ate at 5:30, fell asleep at 6:30, and is still asleep. Should I wake him to feed him again?
Usually he'd wake by now to eat again, should I just let him sleep or should I wake him?

What can I do next?

It's probably fine to let him sleep but if you want some reassurance (and actual medical advice) call the 24 hour nurse line.

Never wake a sleeping baby. He's fine, he will wake up when he is hungry.

babies rarely keep iron-clad schedules. i myself would not wake a sleeping baby to try and make him eat.
(actually, i did, when i was a young stupid first-time mother. but i didn't have MP then to help me out, and made our first couple of weeks utterly miserable.)
let him sleep.
