Since there's no shot available targeted at the new variant, the only available options for the general public are to 1) get the one available now that is the closest match to the newly-circulating strain, 2) wait for the companies to make one for the new strain (probably 2H next year unless there's some sort of emergency effort initiated) or 3) Implement anti-transmission measures such as masking and social distancing that were so popular [sarcasm off] in 2020 for COVID.
