A court in the Canadian province of British Columbia has ordered a local man to stop sharing any information about COVID-19 vaccines with his 11-year-old son after he claimed the jabs were "experimental" and objected to having his child vaccinated.

Kelowna provincial court Judge Cathaline Heinrichs, in a decision released this week, sided with the boy's mother, who wished to have the child vaccinated, CBC reported.

Both of the unnamed parents have guardianship over the boy following their separation in 2016, but the mother asked the court to allow the immediate vaccination of her son and to place limits on her former husband's contact with their child until he has received the COVID-19 vaccine, according to the Penticton Herald.
