All parameters, expressed in the model were estimated using sero-surveys data and data of epidemiological surveillance of Kharkiv region sanitary-epidemiological station. The simulation results allow predicting of the dynamics of the epidemic process in time in a particular area, taking into account specific epidemic situation; and testing the effectiveness of various preventive measures. Using the present model in the practice of Public Health suggests improving of the epidemiological diagnostics of HBV infection and improvement of the quality of management decisions about epidemiological surveillance.
