If the doppler study is normal and not showing any thrombosis (clot), it may be an age-related pain. There may not be any relation between the covid vaccine and the leg pain because having pain after 40 days of the vaccination is unlikely due to adverse effect of the vaccination. Consult an orthopedician for better assessment and she may have to do physiotherapy.
