With a count that low the low grade fever and chills are concerning however everything I've read says to get to a Dr if the temp goes to 100.5 or greater. The important thing is to minimize exposure as his body really won't have the tools to handle infections or illness. The flu at this point would wreck him so hand washing, minimizing exposure and making sure he's hydrated and good nutrition is about the only thing you can do if he's already getting Neulasta.

Debbie, you're doing a great job by the way, keep up the good work! Caregiving is the hardest job on the planet and you're rockin it.
