Assuming the flu vaccine can cover this strain.

Otherwise no use.

Covid is also another type of influenza virus.
Usually the flu vaccine is 1 step behind, means it can cover all past discovered strains.

Bacteria is not virus......

Yes. This when rampant. These Bacteria and virus could be due to over-tourism for the pass 2 years or so. Foreigners coming different countries may have contribute to it.

The issue is the strain in Japan....if the one you pak isn't updated which likely it isn't since it's so recent...

Mask seems to be a safer option. But best of luck for your trip.
I just take whatever precaution that it’s available and the rest is up to fate alr. Thinking what kind of best offers the best protection
