Is Snomed Integration For AWS Medical Comprehend Actually Working?

Question

According to a recent update, the AWS medical comprehend service should now be returning snomed categories along with other medical terms.

I am running this in a Python 3.9 Lambda:

import json

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    clinical_note = "Patient X was diagnosed with insomnia."
    import boto3
    cm_client = boto3.client("comprehendmedical")
    response = cm_client.infer_snomedct(Text=clinical_note)
    print (response)

I get the following response:

{
  "errorMessage": "'ComprehendMedical' object has no attribute 'infer_snomedct'",
  "errorType": "AttributeError",
  "requestId": "560f1d3c-800a-46b6-a674-e0c3c3cc719f",
  "stackTrace": [
    "  File \"/var/task/lambda_function.py\", line 7, in lambda_handler\n    response = cm_client.infer_snomedct(Text=clinical_note)\n",
    "  File \"/var/runtime/botocore/client.py\", line 643, in __getattr__\n    raise AttributeError(\n"
  ]
}

So either I am missing something (probably something obvious) or maybe the method is not actually available yet? Anything to set me on the right path would be welcome.

This is most likely due to the default Boto3 version being out of date on my lambda.
