Patient further stated that she was allergic to sulfa drugs or any drug that says "if you're allergic to sulfa drugs do not take this. She gave them that information when she got her COVID vaccine, and they said that no sulfa drugs are involved with this vaccine. She didn't know if that it was the polyethylene glycol maybe that she was allergic to and just didn't know it. She has lymphedema in her left arm, so everything has to be done in her right arm.
