The short answer is yes. Details are as follows:
JN.1 is the variant mentioned in the linked article.
“Updated COVID-19 vaccines are expected to increase protection against JN.1, as they do for other variants. As noted in previous updates, COVID-19 tests and treatments are expected to be effective against JN.1.” (“Update on SARS-CoV-2 Variant JN.1 Being Tracked by CDC,” 2023)[1].
There are vaccines against EG.5 and HV.1 variants. (“Will New COVID Vaccines Work Against EG.5 and HV.1?,” 2023)[2].
There are vaccines against BA.2.86. (Bugos, n.d.)[3].
I will now add this to my quick take. Thanks for pointing out this lack of vital information!
