It takes time to develop - think about it, The original strain and Alpha through Delta are not nearly as infectious, nor as transmissible, as Omicron. It took over a year to develop, test, produce and establish distribution chains.
Omicron only emerged a couple months ago - it's going to take time for any Omicron-specific vaccine to be developed.
