COVID is still out there and people still get sick with it and it's still having weird systemic effects in spite of our best efforts to ignore it.

I think COVID is now considered endemic globally, it's more manageable than it was when it first broke out but it still causes deaths and weird after effects, probably not as many as before but will probably stay with us for some time to come.

Shouldn't we keep up the vaccination campaigns then ?

Everyone should be getting vaccinated.

In my country they don't recommend additional vaccinations if you already have been vaccinated or been infected (unless risk factor or age).

Yes, and it may not be the ideal policy.

It may be better to do what we do with the flu, reevaluate the vaccine from time to time, and give the new version to everybody.

But also, around here covid seems to be a smaller problem than influenza, by a rate of 2 if you count only deaths. So it's understandable why people don't want to mess with it.
