The inertial mass per unit length of vortex in a discrete type-II superconductor is found. Using a Josephson-coupled-layer model, the expression for the inertial mass per unit length for a continuous type-II superconductor is continued from high temperatures (near the transition temperature {ital T}{sub {ital c}}) to zero absolute temperature for the case that the vortex is oriented parallel to the layers. The possible application of the vortex inertial mass in studies of microwave and infrared response is discussed.
