From the CDC website:
What should I do if I have had a serious reaction to seasonal influenza vaccine?
Call a doctor, or get to a doctor right away.
Tell your doctor what happened, the date and time it happened, and when you got the flu shot.
Ask your doctor, nurse, or health department to file a Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) form, or call VAERS at 1-800-822-7967.

think about it.
edit: i thought the flu vaccine was the flu. i thought they purposely gave it to you to build a tolerance. someone educate me.

You have a strong immune system and the flu shot is not a live vaccine so you cannot get the flu from it, even mildly.
