Grumpy,
That doesn't sound like it had anything to do with the flu shot. After a flu shot, typically, you may feel some very mild flu-like symptoms from a flu shot but it isn't going to give you the flu and, from my experience it definitely doesn't cause vomiting and diarrhea. What you dealt with sounds more like what Matt said or an unrelated stomach bug of some kind. What did you eat?
FWIW, you can still get the flu even if you've had a flu shot. It happens. The shot protects against some but not all flavors of it. Again, though, I don't think the flu applies in this case.
