As the Covid-19 vaccine continues to roll out and vaccinations are cleared for teenagers and children, we expect to see an uptick in questions and conflicts from parents who disagree on how to handle vaccinating their children.

Married couples should face fewer legal issues if they disagree, but unmarried parents may have to contend with both issues within the family; such as who has the final decision regarding the child’s health and best interests, and from outside the family; such as limitations to the child’s activity. Parents disagreeing on childhood vaccinations is nothing new, but Covid-19 has added a level of safety and legality not dealt with before.

This video will discuss what happens when parents disagree on how to handle the Covid-19 vaccine and what steps parents can take to avoid conflict. We will answer the following questions: Are Covid-19 and the vaccine considered “substantial change in circumstances?”, Who makes the vaccination decision between divorced and unmarried couples?, Can one parent force the other to have their child vaccinated against Covid-19?, and How can parents avoid conflict ahead of the Covid-19 vaccine?‍
