Summary:

      This phase II trial studies how well multi-peptide CMV-modified vaccinia Ankara (CMV-MVA
      Triplex) vaccination of stem cell donors works in preventing cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia in
      participants with blood cancer undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Giving a vaccine to the
      donors may boost the recipient's immunity to this virus and reduce the chance of CMV disease
      after transplant.

          -  RECIPIENT: Any other condition that would, in the investigator's judgment,
             contraindicate the patient's participation in the clinical study due to safety

             issues, etc

          -  RECIPIENT: Prospective participants who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not
