The OP’s point is that in US (and also almost certainly in Netherlands), you’re not getting the omicron booster, you’re getting original Covid strain booster.

OP is more interested in the reformulated vaccines from Pfizer/Moderna more specifically tailored to the Omicron variants rather than another shot with the original formulation which has showed waning efficacy against the newest strains.

It hasn't been approved, no one is making it.

Moderna has a candidate that'll probably land on the market sometime around september

Which is a pathetic turnaround for what was supposed to be a technology quick to iterate with. I'd love to know where the holdup actually is.

The hold up is with the FDA. The variant booster had been ready for months, it just takes a long time to approve.

The FDA.
