No, but you can get "flu-like symptoms", since the symptoms we normally associated with the flu are really just symptoms of an immune response to a foreign body.

After my shot, I also felt pretty crumby the next day. My sore arm lasted about 5 days and is still a little sore. At the worst point, I couldn't lift my arm high enough to wash my hair in the shower.
