It could be a serious medication error. You should report it immediately to the management of the business where the vaccine was given by this improper technique and ask your health care professional/doctor if you should receive any examination or specific treatment as a result of the error. There are no flu vaccine formulations approved for use by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the US that are made for IV administration, as of the 2012-2013 flu season.

There is also a federal US organization to report this kind of problem yourself (or your doctor can report it) when vaccination mishaps and errors or adverse reactions occur. It is called VAERS, Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System and is maintained by the US HHS (Health and Human Services). See the related link on this page to the VAERS website.

Is getting flu shot safe while taking steroids?

If you mean the kind of steroids that are given by injection, in a joint or other body part, to work as a local anti-inflammatory agent and to relieve pain, or the kind given by IV in severe infections with sepsis and other complications, then it is possible that it could be used in the treatment of severe flu infections with complications. If you mean the steroids that are used by some athletes and body-builders to build up bulky muscles, or those used sometimes in treatment of hormonal conditions, then no.
