Abstract. In this paper, a model structured in vaccination and infection ages with a general class of nonlinear incidence is introduced and investigated. The resulting model is a system of two age-structured PDEs and an ODE with a non local term. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for global asymptotic stability of the free-equilibrium related to the basic reproduction number. Further, by constructing a new Lyapunov functional, we show the global asymptotic stability of the endemic equilibrium whenever it exists. Finally, a discussion about controlling the spread of the disease is provided.
