Yes.  You have two reportable events here.  First, the vesting of the options, which is ordinary income reported on your W-2.  Second, the sale of the stock, which is reported on your Form 1099-B.  The key is to adjust your basis in the stock, if necessary, so that it equals the amount of ordinary income reported on your W-2 for the vesting.  The result will be no gain, or often a small loss due to trading fees, on the subsequent sale.
