    Pediatric hematopoietic cell transplant recipients are at high risk for severe influenza-related morbidity and mortality.

  • 2

    High-dose trivalent influenza vaccine (HD-TIV) was shown to be more immunogenic than standard-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine (SD-QIV) in a prior study.

  • 3

    In the subsequent influenza season, a single dose of either HD-TIV or SD-QIV was more immunogenic than two doses of the same formulation from the previous year.

  • 4

    Both HD-TIV and SD-QIV had similar rates of injection site and systemic reactions, indicating comparable safety profiles.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that one dose of influenza vaccine may be sufficient for pediatric HCT recipients after a two-dose schedule in the prior year.
