Abstract

A descriptive retroprospective study was carried out with the aim of describing the behavior of the pentavalent vaccine in the Area Norte Teaching Polyclinic of Placetas, Villa Clara province, during the period from January 2005 to August of 2006. The universe was formed by 94 children of the area who were born during those months. After a simple random sampling and the implementation of the inclusion and exclusion criteria the sample was constituted by 41 breastfeeding babies of both sexes. An active search of adverse effects was carried out by the observing nurse at the time of administering the vaccine, and by the doctor or the nurse of the Medical Consulting Room 24, 48 and 72 hours after vaccination, and 7 and 30 days after vaccination. A blood sample was taken to assess the immunologic response. The adverse effects reported were a mild fever and febricula that occurred more frequently during the first dose and during the first 24 hours after vaccination. During the second and third dose the reported effects were less frequent.
