A fresh COVID-19 inoculation drive is set to begin across Japan on Wednesday .
The vaccine, which will be available to everyone for free, targets XBB.1.5 — a spinoff of the XBB variant, itself a "recombinant" virus of two prior omicron strains.
Free shots will be offered until March next year to prepare residents for an expected uptick in infections during the winter .
The government is actively promoting the shot only to those age 65 and older and those with underlying health conditions.
