The analysis

The claim is a specific, empirically verifiable proposition regarding the regulatory and clinical development pathway for updated COVID-19 variant vaccines. Multiple retrieved papers describe ongoing phase 2 and phase III/II clinical trials specifically evaluating bivalent or variant-adapted COVID-19 vaccines (e.g., Papers 2, 4, 7), supporting the claim that new trials are conducted for these updated vaccines. Therefore, the balance verdict is SUPPORTED.
