General Practitioner Questions COVID-19 Vaccine

I have two autoimmune diseases, Celiac Disease and plague Psoriasis?

Since I have two autoimmune diseases, one caused by an overactive immune system, would it be safe for me to get the COVID-19 vaccine? I am 74 years old, my only medication is Synthroid to treat a sluggish thyroid. I had a terrible reaction to the one and only flu shot I had, I became extremely ill, high fever, chest congestion, cough for three weeks, and the doctor had to give me antibiotics to counteract the vaccine.
