Yes, it is recommended that you should as soon as it is made available to your risk group. You should get the flu shot that has inactivated virus particles instead of the nasal vaccine that contains live attenuated virus in it, however. People with Crohn's disease are more susceptible to the virus due to their immunocompromised state and medications they may be taking for the Crohn's. Being vaccinated is especially important for you. But, because of the disease and medications, there may also be a diminished immune response to the vaccine which could leave you without full immunity even after getting the vaccination. For that reason, you should continue to practice all recommended precautions (such as handwashing, avoiding exposure, etc.) even after receiving a vaccination.
