Saw this in a scicomm feed. Hope it reaches someone. ❤️
I just got one of the current strains. It felt just as bad as the ones in 2020. Vaccination is totally warranted.

Just got my second HPV vax and my understanding is I have to wait at least a month before I can have a different vaccine.
That said, I intend to get the Covid and Flu vax once its been a full month. They've never told me I can't do both of those at the same time.

I’m not sure what the data is for children, but after speaking with my doctor (who has gotten vaccinated multiple times) says they don’t believe the vaccination will be very effective this year since there is no clear data on its effectiveness. They basically said it’s probably not worth it. They highly suggested the flu vaccine though. Take that info for what you will. I’m not sure what I’m doing yet.
Edit: grammar
I read that it's still effective because the latest version is an ofspin of one strand compatible with the vaccine.
