“Fully” is the key. If you had the two shots in 2021, and the booster in 2022, you are not fully vaccinated because you haven’t had the 2023 booster for the new variant.
But if you’ve had the previous shots, the 2023 variant will probably not hit you very hard, unless you’re old and feeble. That’s why people aren’t too worried.

My wife and I are old but not feeble. I’m 85 and she will be 83 soon.
My wife and I only had the first 2 shots and have had a variant, each year for the last 2 years with no more shots.
The first variant hit us hard for a few weeks. We tested positive at a lab. We both had minor muscular aches and the sinus issues and no sense of smell for a few weeks. I had Covid foot diagnosis by a doctor on our street. My wife just felt miserable for a couple of months and that was it.
We had another variant in the last few months with basically the same head symptoms and runny noses.
We took no extra drugs and basically the same symptoms. This
time we both have PIA memory losses like the full names of neighbors and other people we have known for decades. Most of that has left us.
The extra drugs were taken by us. I’m on Eliquis and some potent drugs post stent (even before we knew about covid).
My wife is on celebrex as a post hip replacement drug and a super calcium drug. Verapamil and a low dose aspirin at bed time, and a calcium drug.
We will not be taking any vaccines to prevent Covid.
