Simple answer is Yes. Nuclear explosions can be detected from the other side of the Earth from where they go off, so being in a shelter close to the epicentre would give quite a shaking.
It might be possible to negate the shaking with engineering, but it would make an awfully expensive shelter. Mostly they rely on rock to help with the shockwave. I would imagine the better ones are proofed against shockwave whiplash.
I'd imagine if the bomb was anywhere close, to those inside the shelter it would seem like the arrival of the apocalypse - ground transmits noise much better than air.
