Yes, that would be nice. But the FDA cannot approve anything that hasn't yet been submitted for approval. That is like me asking you to approve my next request that I publicly make here for you. Will you do that?
Omicron specific vaccines should be submitted to the FDA around September, give or take a month.
Vaccine makers have designed and tested a number of versions which show better efficacy against Omicron but nobody is beating down the FDA's door until they decide on a vaccination strategy. The Europeans are already contracting for multivalent vaccines to cover them in the fall.
