MOTHER, WHO OPPOSES VACCINATING THE CHILD, SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AWARDED MEDICAL DECISION-MAKING AUTHORITY (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing (modifying) Family Court, determined mother, who opposes vaccination of the child, should not have been awarded medical decision-making authority:

Here, the child, by his attorney … , asserts that the mother should not have medical decision-making authority over him. The mother opposes vaccinating the child. However, at the hearing, the father testified that he would innoculate the child for diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis, and measles, mumps, and rubella, expressed concern that the child could become infected and young and elderly members of his family were at risk due to the child’s lack of immunization against “highly contagious preventable diseases,” and further noted that his younger child had received a “full set” of vaccinations. The forensic evaluator recommended that the father should be awarded medical decision-making authority due to his position on vaccinations which was safer for the child, a position which was entitled to some weight … . Under the circumstances, the determination of the Family Court to award the mother medical decision-making authority did not have a sound an substantial basis in the record, and the father should have been awarded medical decision-making authority … . Matter of Ednie v Haniquet, 2020 NY Slip Op 04305, Second Dept 7-29-20
