 It's difficult to discuss this without sources. To eradicate Covid, we'd need effective global vaccination. As far as I can tell, experts disagree over whether this is possible. But the "Spanish flu" epidemic did not end with the eradication of the flu, so maybe we don't need to eradicate Covid. Article: The pandemic's end​ This won't happen with a bang. What we can expect to see is a fading-away. Waves might well still continue, and even increase in magnitude. But fatalities will reduce and severe illness become less common as vaccination rates improve. As medical historians Erica Charters and Kristin Heitman put it, epidemics end once the disease is Whereas diseases become epidemics and pandemics through purely biostatistical means - a matter of how many people are infected and where those people are - they end once the biomedical harms they cause are sufficiently reduced. In other words, when relatively few people are getting seriously ill. There are currently multiple vaccines that are extremely effective in reducing the effects of the virus from a life-threatening disease, to (for the vast majority of people) nothing more than a mild cold. Even in the face of further waves of infection, were the entire population fully vaccinated, the biomedical harm the disease would cause would be (relative to many diseases we are already dealing with) sufficiently low to call an end to the epidemic. This would mark the point at which governments could stop implementing many of the economically and socially devastating non-pharmaceutical interventions.
