We haven't got our second boosters yet. Might wait till the fall when the new variants hopefully are included. Good article on the BA.5 and BA.2.75 variants.
But it could be that the vaccines will always be a step behind the newer variants. If Covid would become like the flu and be seasonal we could just get the Covid shot with the Flu shot every fall.
"BA.5 currently dominates the U.S. and the world. But more variants are coming."
"Luo says it’s hard to predict what will happen with BA.2.75 just yet.
_“I think we can lay out the possibilities,” says Luo. “In one extreme, BA.2.75 really does take over and then we would be looking at something similar to what's happening with BA.5 right now.
Or it could just peter out at the other extreme, and then we wait for the next variant that might be a cause for concern.” A clearer picture of what BA.2.75 could do will emerge in a few weeks, according to Luo.
The broader takeaway from the latest subvariant, she says, is that it’s becoming less and less likely that COVID-19 will go away.
Though many had hoped COVID-19 would be more predictable over two years after it was declared a pandemic, that doesn’t seem to be the case. And a majority of Americans seem to have accepted that the coronavirus is here to stay.
Nearly 4 in 5 Americans agree that COVID-19 will not go away during their lifetime, according to the Axios/Ipsos poll."_
