In this paper, we investigate the global stability of a multi-group SVIR epidemic model, with which we can consider the heterogeneity of population and the effect of immunity induced by vaccination. We prove that the basic reproduction number R-0 plays the role of a threshold for the long-time behavior of the model, that is, the disease-free equilibrium E-0 of the model is globally asymptotically stable if R-0 1. For the proofs we use the classical method of Lyapunov, a recently developed graph-theoretic approach and an approach of max functions. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
