To the best of my knowledge it is NOT codominant, but rather a simple autosomal recessive disorder. It may also be considered intermediate inheritance (a.k.a. incomplete dominance or overdominance) as heterozygotes are to an extent deficient in normal haemoglobin A production, only they usually do not show any clinical symptoms (and are protected from malaria as a bonus).
