On Dec 13, 2023, WHO’s Technical Advisory Group on COVID-19 Vaccine Composition (TAG-CO-VAC) reiterated their guidance1 from May, 2023, recommending updating vaccines to better induce neutralising antibodies against the omicron XBB. 1 lineage and its descendants that were in circulation at the time. TAG-CO-VAC suggested the use of monovalent XBB. 1 or descendant lineage (eg, XBB. 1.5), and specifically recommended moving away from the inclusion of the ancestral index virus, first detected in 2019, in vaccines. In countries such as the USA and Japan, bivalent vaccines incorporating older omicron lineages and the index virus were not used for the autumn 2023 booster programmes. By contrast, in the UK, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisations (JCVI) adopted a pragmatic approach2 and recommended the continued use of stocks of previous bivalent mRNA vaccines in addition to the newer monovalent XBB. 1.5-encoding mRNA vaccines, on the basis that both showed efficacy during mid-2023—despite the previous bivalent vaccines encoding the Spike protein of viruses that last circulated in mid-2022 and early 2020 (appendix p 3).SARS-CoV-2 has evolved considerably since these decisions were first made: over the course of 2023, the XBB lineage accumulated several mutations in its Spike protein that have been shown to incrementally decrease the neutralising capacity of serum from infected and vaccinated individuals. 3 Notably, a new lineage of omicron, BA. 2.86, was detected in August, 2023, and although it is a descendant of the BA. 2 lineage, its sequence is more divergent from XBB than BA. 1 was from delta (B. 1.617. 2) when BA. 1 first appeared (appendix p 3). BA. 2.86 has been the dominant lineage in Europe
