While Canadians raced to get vaccinated against COVID-19 early in the pandemic, only 15 per cent of the population had their updated shot this fall. But the virus is still spreading.

The new vaccine for currently-spreading variants have only been available for ~3 months.

It's not like the MMR vaccine where you're done for decades after the primary sequence; you need a current vaccine to match current strains. It's more like a flu shot.
