Hey people hope you all are staying safe.

I have a question for pfizer takers

I'm flying back to my job in Dubai two days after my second Pfizer shot is scheduled here in the United States. I'm afraid that the symptoms of the second shot is going to prevent me from from flying.

How bad are the symptoms, when do they emerge, and how long do they last? More specifically, I'm talking about the fever. they will turn my ass around if I'm fevering.

my experiance:

1st shot, I had a old nurse with cross eyes, but she was good at jabing (pushing the needle in).
So I bearly felt it.  However by night time, my arm was sore, which made sleeping irritable, as I tend to sleep on my sides (and alter between both).
Next day, basically by the end of it, the soreness was gone. I noticed I was a tiny bit more sleepy than normal that day.. next day I was fine.

2nd shot. I had a younger fit (hot) nurse do the jab.... it hurt abit more.
Again, I was sore in the arm, though less than the first time (oddly enough, considering her not as gentle touch, with the jab).
I was once more, abit sore in the arm (though less than the first time), and it was gone the next day as well.

Seriously, not sure if Im just "lucky", but I went to take the vaccine with my mom, and she basically had the same experiance (though milder than mine).
I've talked with others in my circle, and the scare of the "symptoms" of the shots, seems way over blown (ei. people I talked with haven't experianced anything noticeable).  First shot actually seemed worse than the 2nd one (more sore, and tired, than the 2nd shot)

I can tell you that a cusin of mine, got corona, and is sick as a dog now, and wishing he had gotten vaccinated earlier.

I dont think you should worry about getting the vaccine.
Even if it was like the day of the flight, or day before.
