Why is there no yearly refreshed covid vaccination recommendation for adults (like from the WHO)?

I guess COVID has been deescalated to not being as serious as it once was mainly because most parts of the world have been effectively vaccinated and thus the virus has become less potent. This has been done at different rates across the world but at least here in Denmark it has not been considered a socially critical virus since early 2022
We dont test for it any more and doctors sinply consider COVID as a flue type.
Facemasks are also a rare thing here and if you do see them it's assumed it used by people who are especially vulnerable. That said, even people with respiratory deficiencies don't use facemasks any more.
So all in all I guess it would be irrelevant at this point. Maybe some countries are a bit behind in this progress but it seems like COVID is declining into a regula flue, if it hasn't already
