A Quebec judge has ruled in favour of a mother who wants to have her son to receive COVID-19 vaccination without the father’s consent, and has also banned the father from taking the child to participate in COVID-19 protests.

In a ruling dated April 12, Superior Court Justice Nathalie Pelletier sided with the 10-year-old’s mother, who said the father told the child to lie about his age to avoid wearing a mask in public places.
