Donating blood after HPV vaccine?

My school is doing a blood drive and I would like to donate, but I'm receiving the HPV vaccination the day before (I can't have the appointment moved). Will I be able to donate?

I have no other conditions that would leave me unable to donate.

I'll be sure to ask my doctor whether or not I'll be able to donate, but I'd like to know now if I'll be able to.

Thanks.

    Potential volunteer blood donors who have received HPV vaccination (Gardisil, Cervarix) are eligible to donate without a deferral period.
