Not necessarily. There is no word or phrase in English that requires a comma. More importantly, however, avoid contractions and abbreviations in formal writing.

As the elements of a series are separated by commas, then yes, a comma is called for in front of etc. For example, in the sentence below:I like all sorts of fruit: blueberries, strawberries, watermelon, etc.
