Covid vaccine can be given in both conditions unless you have allergy to the vaccine. Thalassemia patients were not included in vaccine trials, but it is believed that the vaccine should be able to protect them against covid also, and is generally considered safe. This is the public health and medical research perspective. However, I would advise that you consult your hematologist before opting for vaccination.

Just have your shot. Allergies to Covid vaccines are rare. You'll never know until you get it done :)
