For Megan Wong of San Jose, there never was much question in her mind whether she’d get the new omicron-specific COVID-19 vaccine booster when it became available. The human resources worker has trips planned across the country to New Orleans, Nashville and Tampa, and feels like earlier shots have protected her.

The first updated COVID vaccine formula since the shots first rolled out in late 2020 is designed to protect against the highly contagious omicron variants BA.4 and BA.5 as well as the original strain. And Wong was among the first in line when Santa Clara County health officials started giving out boosters Wednesday.
