I had a ct done to follow up on something minor. the technician asked which arm i had my covid vaccine in before i got on the table. i had told her that i had gotten my vaccine in march. i wore my mask at the hospital. why do they ask which arm?

You left out some info. Was this CT scan going to include an infusion of contrast material in one arm? If so they might choose the other arm so any issues that may arise in the future would be separate. If not, you would need to ask the radiologist. It should not be an issue.
