European Union regulators have agreed that COVID-19 vaccines should have labels and packages with information only in English.

BRUSSELS - COVID-19 vaccines should have labels and packages with information only in English, European Union regulators have agreed, loosening multilingual requirements that could slow the roll-out of shots in the continent.

EU health experts have agreed to limit the information on jabs' labels and packages"to one EU official language, preferably English," an EU document said. The document was adopted in late September and published last week on a little watched webpage of the EU Commission. The document, which was prepared by the EU Commission and endorsed by health experts from EU countries, says that information should be omitted if countries opted for multilingual labels.
