I just donated on June 16, but we're facing a critical blood shortage in Indiana, and since I'm not overly busy I thought perhaps I could donate again this weekend.

In America, the minimum interval is 8 weeks.
You would need to lie to donate before then--as you will be asked to ID yourself, and your previous donation will be on record.
There is a reason for this waiting period, no doubt, to do with your healt.
Attempting to circumvent will likely earn you a permanent deferral--which means your blood won't be available at all.
Good for you for wanting so much to help, though. We do need people to donate blood.

I don't know about America, but here in UK it's every 16 weeks I think.
I couldn't donate last time because low iron levels. :(

every eight weeks here in florida. i am sure it is the same everywhere and they keep up with it in a computer so you don't donate to often.
