Q: Attenuated virus transmission

Last time I had the flu jab, it had a very bad effect on me for a long
time. It was questionable which was worse, cure or disease. I believe
that I may be allergic to the medium the virus is developed in.

Today my wife and daughter had the vaccination. Is it possible for
either of them to pass the attenuated virus on to me by through
proximity or contact? If so would I be likely to develop immunity as a
result?

TIA
