Is There Any Research To Link Motor Tics To Flu Vaccine?

My 10 year old son has been diagnosed with a motor tic disorder and PANDAS. This started last year in December. He has severe motor tics. Is there any reasearch to link this to flu vaccine? I have just realized that his symptoms were preceeded by a flu shot last year. His symptoms worsened this year after getting a flu shot.
