小蓝视频's top doctor says it's "reprehensible" that some  are spreading COVID-19 vaccine misinformation. 

Dr. Bonnie Henry made the comments Wednesday (Feb. 9) during her weekly press briefing, addressing recent incidents involving doctors who are spreading misinformation.

"Does it disturb me? Absolutely. It does," she said. "I think it's reprehensible, to be honest, to spread."

The health officer noted she's particularly concerned that individuals will turn to health-care professionals with legitimate concerns and questions.

"I know there have been complaints," Henry acknowledged, noting that the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia is addressing these concerns and that lies have resulted in people not taking preventative action. 

"That has led to serious illness and deaths and... I put that squarely at the hands of people who are spreading this type of misinformation," she underscored.

"So as you can see... I think it is a very egregious breach of our responsibilities as health-care professionals."

All 小蓝视频 health-care workers . They'll need at least one dose by March 24 and can continue working as long as they get their second dose 28 to 35 days after their first jab.
