The respondent father brought a motion seeking an order directing the applicant mother to ensure their 12-year-old daughter is vaccinated against COVID-19, as well as police enforcement of a 2017 parenting order and a finding of contempt.
The mother opposed forcing the child to be vaccinated against her will.
The court dismissed the contempt motion due to improper service.
On the vaccination issue, the court declined to take judicial notice of government information regarding the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The court found the child to be a mature minor capable of making her own medical decisions and strongly opposed to the vaccine.
The motion was dismissed in its entirety.
