No, there is no live bacteria in flu shots. Flu shots are to prevent the flu which is caused by a virus, not bacteria.

The various flu vaccines contain pieces of viruses that are treated to be able to give you immunization, but not make you sick from the virus contained in the vaccination. The flu shots contain inert ("dead") viruses or pieces of viruses instead of whole particles. The flu mist used in the nasal vaccination is made with active ("live") but weakened viruses that can not make you sick if you have an otherwise healthy body and immune system.
