I just got the shot today, I should've waited.

To anyone else waiting until the new vaccine is available in September, consider protecting yourself in the meantime with Covixyl, which is a nasal spray. It doesn't keep you from getting COVID, but it reduces the viral load for 4 hours, so if you do get COVID, it will be less severe (though you should still get Paxlovid at that point regardless).
