Survey of Healthcare Providers Views and Experiences with Vaccine Hesitancy Final Report

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) identified the need for public opinion research to understand healthcare providers' (HCP) perspectives of, and experiences with, vaccine delay/refusal at a time when the number of Canadians who are delaying/refusing immunization is increasing. The research was needed to understand how HCPs communicate with patients about vaccination, how the rate of hesitancy is changing over time and what tools and resources HCPs are aware of/utilize.
