as long as you got all the mold out it's fine. it sounds like you washed it well enough. i would use it.
Bacteria can be pretty sneaky, make sure that the lid and it's grooves (on the inside are not just washed but rinsed very thoroughly with as hot of water as the faucet will get to, just be very careful not to burn yourself or maybe have an adult do it.

vinegar has an acidity rating of about 18% depending on how much you use. not too many organisms can live past that, but if you wanted absolute solutions i would go for the bleach. vinegar leaves some germs on there in oily residue, bleach is the only true way to be totally done with mold...
Run it thru the dishwahser or soak it in the sisnk with the hottest water possible and 1 cap ful of bleach per Gallon of water. This is the right ratio for sanitizing.
Then rinse well.
Just make sure you disinfect it well and it should be okay to use again!
I'd say yes :D
