A mother in the US state of Michigan has been sentenced to seven days in jail after she refused a judge's order to have her son vaccinated.
Rebecca Bredow would not let her nine‑year‑old be immunised after initially agreeing with the father to do so.
Her ex‑husband has now been awarded temporary primary custody in order to get the boy the jab.
Michigan parents are legally allowed to skip or delay their children's vaccinations due to personal beliefs.
But Bredow fell foul of the law because she reneged on agreements with her former spouse dating back to November 2016 to have the boy immunised.
