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.

I mean if the boosters come as frequently as the flu vaccine, then you won't have to worry about the name or number of it.

"I'm here for my yearly flu and/or COVID vaccine."

I just got mine in Canada. Asked the pharmacist if they have the new shot that helps protect against the latest strain and they said not yet.

Why are you acting like it's so difficult? Lol
