My understanding is that there are 2 different bivalents: OG/BA.1 in Canada, and OG/BA4.5 in USA. BA.1 is a strain that is no longer circulating, but that bivalent was tested on people - there were 437 in the test arm (the rest got placebo). OG/BA4.5 has not been tested on people.
I will amend the article. If you have the citation it’d save me searching, although the 437 number should make it easier. Odd that Dr. Fauci would not mention this trial.
But remember, this is not the same as the booster approved in the US. Thanks to mRNA technology, it's trivial to modify the software and confuse people about what they are getting.
