Age significantly affects knowledge and perception of the hepatitis B vaccine (p=0.004; p=0.030). Sex and education significantly relate to knowledge of hepatitis B disease (p=0.022; p=0.025). The most motivation is getting free of charge hepatitis B vaccination (n=223, 43.9%) and participation in scientific development (n=184, 36.2%). One hundred eighty-two people (35.8%), males and 326 females (64.2%) were motivated to get hepatitis vaccination.
