A Dutch court has ruled that a 12-year-old boy had the right to get a Covid jab to visit his dying grandmother despite his vaccine-sceptic father's objections.
Judge Bart Tromp of Groningen District Court granted permission for the boy to be vaccinated due to the “interests involved in vaccination, in particular, the interest of this minor”, AFP reported.
He ordered that the boy be given the shot “shortly” because his interests were more important than any possible appeal by the father's lawyers.
