None of mentioned conditions are contraindications to the flu shot. Best would be to discuss it with your treating doc in detailed context as to better understand the benefits/ risks/alternatives.

Thalassemia trait is not a contraindication to flu, Covid or any other vaccination. Thalassemia trait by itself should not cause tiredness, and you should seek consultation with your doctor.
