LONDON — In a drive to inoculate people against swine flu before winter, European governments plan to fast-track the testing of a vaccine, arousing concerns about safety.

Countries such as Britain, Greece, France and Sweden say they’ll start using the vaccine after it’s greenlighted — possibly within weeks.

Dr. Keiji Fukuda, the World Health Organization’s flu chief, warned about the potential dangers of untested vaccines but stopped short of criticizing Europe’s approach.

Officials won’t know if the new vaccine causes any rare side effects until millions of people get the shots.
