Does this sounds like TDAP vaccine reaction or stomach bug?

A couple of weeks ago I got a TDAP vaccine at my local pharmacy after I got a minor cut on some metal outside. For about 8 hours I was fine but then started having some stomach discomfort and loss of appetite. That night I woke up and had to vomit twice, after that I felt very weak and had nausea and body aches which lasted for about 36 hours. It took a couple of days after that to get my appetite back and feel back to normal again. My question is, is this something that could happen because of the shot? I ask because there is a stomach bug going around the school where I work and I’m super paranoid about catching it. But I started thinking that maybe I’ve already had it and it was just a coincidence that it happened the same day I got my vaccine.
