The least they can do is either number or codename the shots. How do I ask the local pharmacy if they have the updated shot? "The one they've been working on for a while?" "Just came out?"

Call it booster shot #, give it a more interesting name, or call it an amalgamation of the strains it targets.

As far as I know, the Government has quit paying for covid vaccines, which means it's unlikely the poor or those with high deductible insurance will get them. I believe Pfizer was looking at charging $120-130 a shot which puts it out of reach for the vast majority of the working poor.

Of course, big pharma needs a few billion again, its time..
