Because more and more people are getting vaccinated, the need will decrease somewhat, but it is by no means going away. Many people don't respond well to the vaccines, such as people with underlying immunocompromising conditions. We are seeing these people come down with COVID despite being vaccinated. We're also seeing people who have had only one dose of vaccine now getting sick with the new delta variant and other variants. That's going to continue to happen for some time. Those people are important, and we need to be able to service their needs to prevent their ending up in hospital.
