Hypothesis 1: The safety profile in adult allogeneic stem cell hematopoietic transplant (SCT) recipients after high dose (HD) trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) will not be significantly different from adult stem cell transplant recipients receiving standard dose (SD) TIV. * Specific Aim 1: To compare safety profile of high dose trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine to standard dose trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine in adult hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. Hypothesis 2: Adult stem cell transplant recipients who received the higher dose trivalent influenza vaccine will have a greater frequency of (at least a 4-fold) rise in antibody titers to influenza antigens compared to those who receive standard dose trivalent influenza vaccine. * Specific Aim 2: To compare humoral immune responses of adult hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients influenza virus antigens included in trivalent influenza vaccine after high dose or standard dose trivalent influenza vaccine.

Patients Experiencing at Least 1 Solicited Local and/or Systemic Adverse Event After High Dose (HD) Trivalent Influenza Vaccine (TIV) or Standard Dose (SD) Trivalent Influenza Vaccine in Adult Hematopoetic Stem Cell Transplant (SCT) Recipients
Patients were questioned about the following adverse events related to TIV: Local: pain, tenderness, swelling/induration, or erythema at injection site. Systemic: fatigue/malaise, headache, nausea, vomiting, body ache not at injection site, fever \>= 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit, or change in activity level.
Time frame: Day of TIV to 7 days after TIV
Patients Receiving HD or SD TIV With a 4-fold Rise in Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI) Titers Relative to Baseline for Each of 3 Influenza Viruses
Adult hematopoetic stem cell transplant recipients at least 6 months post-transplant receiving either HD or SD TIV who had blood drawn at pre-vaccination and at 28-42 days post-vaccination and who experienced a 4-fold rise in each of three post-vaccination influenza antibody titers, relative to their baseline titers. Trivalent vaccine is for the H1N1/H3N2/B influenzas. A 4-fold rise in type-specific antibody titer is considered adequate antibody response to the specific influenza virus
Time frame: Before TIV and 28-42 days after TIV
