I think they did the one that had been worked on initially that covered Omicron BA.1 (where they mix their mRNA-1273 original with their newer mRNA-1273.214 that did elicit a good response for BA.4/BA.5).

The U.S. version will be using the mRNA-1273.222 (FDA requested that both Moderna and Pfizer go with their explicit BA.4/BA.5 add-ons).
