A 12-year-old boy from Groningen would like to be vaccinated against corona. Among other things, to be able to visit his terminally ill grandmother safely. But his father does not agree because he is afraid of the long-term side effects of the shot.

A judge considered the case on Thursday and it appears that the boy can be vaccinated by the juvenile judge. An appeal would be of no avail for the father.
The boy’s parents are divorced and have a different opinion about the vaccine. The boy’s mother sees no problem with it. The father refuses to give permission. He also does not want his son to be tested for the corona virus.
The boy filed the lawsuit because he really wants to visit his grandmother. She is in the last phase of her life due to metastatic lung cancer. Because he has not yet been vaccinated, he is afraid of infecting his grandmother.
The boy’s father doesn’t think the risks outweigh the benefits of a vaccine.
