A judge has ruled the 13-year-old child of divorced Saskatoon parents should be vaccinated against COVID-19, despite legal opposition from the girl's mother. "The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination is safe and effective for use in people, including both adults and children." The case may be one of the first of its kind in Saskatchewan involving COVID-19 vaccination, Megaw wrote. Appeal delays vaccination, father saysThe father said he approached his daughter's doctors about the vaccination process last week, but that it had to be put on hold given the mother's appeal of Megaw's decision. The divorced parents have a second child, an 11-year-old boy who will be eligible for COVID-19 vaccination when he turns 12 or perhaps even sooner, depending on the progress made by Pfizer.
