what exactly do I need to ask my local pharmacy to see if they have this new one?

The new vaccines target the KP.2 variant because most recent covid cases are caused by that strain or closely related ones.

If you ask for the 2024-2025 COVID vaccine, they'll know exactly what you're talking about.

Yeah if you just ask for “the new KP2 vaccine” they’ll know what you’re talking about
