HV.1 is still the most prevalent variant in the US, but JN.1 is close behind. JN.1 is a descendant of BA.2.86 with only one additional mutation in the spike protein. Early research suggests the new coronavirus vaccines will increase protection against JN.1. JN.1 may have a growth advantage, so it will probably become the dominant variant in the coming weeks.

Make sure you are up to date on vaccination. We are heading into the perfect time of year for respiratory infections.
