Doing a blood test during the first ten days of Zul Hijjah

Q: I have a question regarding the first ten days of Zul Hijjah.

I'm going to perform qurbaani inshallah and I heard that I can't cut my hair and nails for 10 days before qurbaani. I have an appointment to give blood for testing and I was wondering if this is permissible or is it haram like cutting hair and nails in the first 10 days of Zul Hijjah ?

A: It is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
