As misinformation, polarization and political partisanship around mRNA technologies intensify, how can health care professionals navigate discussing mRNA vaccines and immunotherapies that are poised to transform how we prevent and treat diseases in Canada?
Health care workers and the broader public health community are invited to an exclusive screening of The Messenger, a documentary tracing the origin story of mRNA technology — a 30-year journey from discovery to a critical role during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The screening will be followed by a panel featuring mRNA pioneers and leading experts in public health, medical anthropology, clinical practice and regulatory affairs. Panellists will demystify recent advances in mRNA science and engage the audience in dialogue about how mRNA vaccines and therapeutics are poised to transform disease prevention and treatment. The profound implications that mRNA technology will have on the future of healthcare in Canada will also be discussed.
