I received the second dose of my Pfizer vaccine for COVID-19 yesterday at XA:00 AM. I was not feeling any immediate effects of the dose and had a flight lesson scheduled XE:00 AM and felt fine. It wasn't until this morning I was chatting with a mentor of mine and they had mentioned there being a 48 hour period of restriction for any flying for those that did receive the vaccine. I did some research of my own and found that this was indeed true. I did not feel like I was putting myself or my instructor in any immediate danger and could still perform my duties as a student pilot. Upon discovering the restriction; I scheduled my other lesson for after the 48 hours have passed.
Student pilot reported taking a flight lesson prior to the 48 hour waiting period after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.
