The Bridge Research Consortium (BRC) is pleased to be partnering with the Canadian Public Health Association and Immunize Canada on a series of webinars focused on supporting public trust and equitable access to vaccine and immune-based innovation in Canada.

Webinar Description
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed healthcare workers to intense ethical pressures and rising online abuse. This webinar shared research findings that capture the experiences of online harassment and moral distress—the inability to provide care one believes is ethically necessary due to external constraints—among healthcare professionals across Canada during the pandemic.  The session highlighted evidence-based recommendations and resources developed in response to these challenges. Presenters also shared ongoing research aimed at better understanding how to support the healthcare community as it continues to navigate moral distress and online hostility, particularly in the context of vaccine hesitancy.
