PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day of TIV to 7 days after TIV

Population: Patients who received either the high-dose TIV or the standard dose TIV

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.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Before TIV and 28-42 days after TIV

Population: Patients who received either the high-dose or the standard dose TIV and who had blood drawn for HAI titers before TIV and at 28-42 days after TIV. Data not available for 5 HD and 1 SD patients.

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
