   Ok, so Comirnaty XBB.1.5 is out and approved by the FDA. Wonder when we can get it in HK. Should probably wait with my next shot if it's coming soon.

   Currently though, the free vaccination offer is for 2023 only, so if it's not out yet by the end of the year I should get one anyway. Also I'd like to have a fresh booster before I travel in July, so I'd want the current one more than 180 days before then.

   I think I'll just book a visit in December and the new one will either be out or it won't.

   To answer my own question earlier, as long as the government is providing covid boosters for free the company probably won't combine it with the flu jab?

     @penguin42 The product link is to the bivalent one, but that one has been in use for almost a year unless the UK is severely behind everyone else, so that can't be right. The headline talks about the monovalent XBB.1.5 one.

     @clacke Are you sure that UK one is referencing the same version? |It sees to be talking about a 4-5 bivalent, where I thought the FDA approved a monovalent thing for XBB1.5?
