Thank you Silversand & BC Bob
México isn't offering inoculations for Covid, booster or Delta.
And I haven't checked about the influenza serum but I've yet to encounter a boosted strength for the elderly. My option is to wait for 3 weeks or get a regular dose here but of a different source (Switzerland). I've already chosen the local jab for next week.
If memory serves me correctly that strain was H1N1

I've been curious about the effect of the totally unvaccinated skewing total "new" reported Covid cases.
For instance, California is reporting a pronounced spike in infections. Yet it has been publishing data that claims ten million people have not received even one dose of vaccine.

My wife had cold symptoms while I had 24hrs of bad flu symptoms and a week of residual cough.
Here is the preprint/publication I have found via google scholar on Moderna's mRNA-1273.222 (1:1 mix of mRNAs encoding the Wuhan-1 and BA.4/5 spike proteins).
Thanks BC! Heading over to read now....
Apparently, my wife and i are super-avoiders (or, we just have not been able to catch Covid; even snowbirding in Florida for more than 4 months this past winter); I read that appx 10% of the human population in various research have not yet "gotten it" (or, seem not to be vulnerable to "it") as yet. Of our 39 close contacts we talk to on a regular basis (daily to bi-daily), EVERYONE of them has had Covid (confirmed by test). Interestingly, the 39 say that "....you just know something is very, very different symptomatically from the flu or cold when you have Covid...".
Pianotuna:
....you mention what works against B 11.....did you mean BQ.1.1 ?
MexicoWanderer:
Cheers! I still cannot figure out why the GIS global flu tracker is not updating US flu data (??)

....Mex: isn't the prevailing global flu strain presently the A (H3) ?
On edit: ....I am reading that the two flu shots recommended for 65+ years of age are: Fluad Quadrivalent, or Fluzone high-dose quadrivalent.... (https://www.goodrx.com/)

....OK....you may mean BQ1.1 as B (or, BA 1.1) seems to be extinct in the EU, Canada, Mexico, USA and even Japan. The new BQ animal has reached appx 10% in the USA presently (varying widely spatially by region), and in Canada, 4.9% share of animals and rising rapidly (displacing BA4 and 5) according to CoVariants.org

....nope, not specifically the BQ.1.1 lineage (mutations ORF1b-N1191S and S-R346T). Nor the BQ.1.4 (England and Denmark, defined by S-R190T).
But as always, consult your physician for vaccine options.

No vaccine has been developed (reported) with a more recent variant than BA.4/5.
One can get a sense of how protective the new bivalent (Wuhan + BA.4/5) vaccine from Moderna will be against a range of new variants by looking at the relative pseudovirus neutralization assay results for plasma from vaccinees (3 doses) who had BA.5 breakthrough infection. There was a 6.7x decrease in "protection" against BQ.1.1 as compared to protection against BA.5.
