Do you understand how flu shots work? A flu shot is basically the flu in a needle so that your body builds up anti bodies to the flu so you don't get sick by it.

Short answer: No.

Your body will be more immune now that you have it to the flu rather than you getting the flu shot so just wait it out mate.
