To 57 individuals of the Old People's Home in Güines and Artemisa Municipalities, without vaccinal contraindications, was administered and inactivated bivalent antigrippal vaccine with the antigenic content: A/Kiev/59/79 (H1N1) and A/Filipina/2/82 (H3N2). Trough the inhibition technique of hemagglutination in pair sera, satisfactory results (seroconversion) were obtained in more of the vaccinated individuals, for both antigens. Local reactions such as erythema and papule were observed. Nine patients were detected among the vaccinated individuals by the epidemiologic surveillance carried out a year after vaccination. The serologic study performed to five of them showed a case positive to influenza A (H3N2) and another one positive to influenza B.
