You can't donate blood if you've had an MMR in the past 4 weeks. Lots of people are getting updated on this vaccine, particularly in light of the recent mumps outbreak. You may not be informed that you can't donate until after you've read the initial form, done the bp, temp, finger stick, and the self-screening. If you don't know exactly when it was, and it could possibly have been less than 4 weeks, you'll have to wait until the next drive. Save yourself some time, and read the eligibility guidelines beforehand. Doh.
