At some point we will "get on with our lives" but that doesn't mean that we will be able to ignore COVID-19. As with any highly infectious and dangerous disease there will still be a public health response to outbreaks. The hope is that with a high proportion of people vaccinated we won't see many outbreaks. For example, in Australia we have a 92-94% vaccination rate against measles (differs slightly by state) with the disease considered eliminated in 2014 [0]. Even still, in 2019 there was a small outbreak in Western Australia that lead to a big contact tracing effort and some forced isolation/quarantine of close contacts [1].
