A patient receives a swine-flu jab
A MOTHER’S fight to stop her daughter being given the swine flu vaccine was due to go before the Royal Court today.
The woman was taken to court by the nine-year-old girl’s father after the mother told her daughter’s school that she was not to have the injection.
This morning, a legal process was due to begin in the court’s family division in front of Family Registrar Vincent Obbard in the form of a preliminary directions hearing. The father wants the court to order that the girl be given the injection, but the 44-year-old mother is arguing that not enough is known about the long-term effects of the vaccine.
However, the father strongly disagrees and has initiated the civil proceedings in the court’s family division.
