As a nurse I refuse to get the COVID vaccine but I was wondering I know that I used filter straws when drawing up medications from a glass ampule that you popped the glass top of and filters that we attached to syringes to draw of from a vial when mixing medicines. Could you request to have the COVID vaccine drawn up using a filter and would it even work??

Filters aren't ubiquitous. They have to be built specifically to filter out things of a certain property.
A simple strainer is going to keep your grapes in the bowl, but let out water and everything small enough. A charcoal filter chemically binds to things it's filtering out, but not to anything it can't bind to. A polarizing filter filters light by its wavelength.
To create a filter for a "nano particle", you'd need to know the properties of the particle you're trying to filter for. Size, shape, polarity, chemical makeup, that sort of thing. Get whatever this "nano particle" is and put it under a microscope, document it, get that data.
Just using anything labeled as a "filter" is unlikely to work, especially since "nano" refers in science to objects 1000x smaller than "micro".
I pretty much speculated that wouldn't work but I guess a girl can dream. Thanks
