A divorced man from New Brunswick, Canada, has been blocked by a judge from visiting his three children in person after refusing to get a COVID-19 vaccine, according to a report.

The parents, who were not identified in the court ruling, had shared custody of their children, including an immunocompromised 10-year-old daughter, since their divorce in 2019. The mother requested last year to have the custody agreement altered, citing concerns over the father and his new partner’s resistance to receiving a vaccination for COVID-19, CBC News reported.
