It is possible but not very likely. See the related question below about how long a virus lives outside the body. It would be more on the pillow or pillow case instead of in a pillow. Ultra violet light "kills" many viruses, so if you are concerned and are unable to wash the pillow, then if you can set it out in the sunlight for several hours that will speed the process of inactivation of any viruses.

Spray with fabric disinfectant and leave for a few hours. That should do it.

You could also just set it aside or hang it on a clothes line where it is in the sun and air.

If it is washable, you can wash with bleach, but just washing in hot water may not do it, unless your water gets hotter than 167-212°F [75-100°C], which are the temperatures that "kill" the flu virus.
