A B.C. provincial court judge has ordered a father not to talk with his 11-year-old son about COVID-19 vaccination or to share any social media or other information about the vaccine and the disease with his child.
In a decision released this week, Kelowna provincial court Judge Cathaline Heinrichs sided with a mother who wanted to have her son vaccinated over the objections of her ex-husband.
Heinrichs followed the lead of other provincial court judges across the country in concluding that getting the vaccine is in the child’s best interest.
But the judge said the child — known as NW — was caught up in the “tension and polarization that this issue has caused” between the warring exes and ordered the father to stay silent.
