Market Outlook

Growth in the global travel vaccination services market has temporarily halted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the global market for infection prevention continues to grow, partly due to the outbreak of COVID, but also as a result of increasing awareness in companies and organizations of the high costs that infectious diseases are causing for companies, such as loss of productivity following illness.
Once governments gain control over the pandemic and its implications the demand for travel vaccinations is expected to arise again. Moreover, infectious diseases will continue to affect society in the future, and vaccinations and other prevention programs are the most important weapons in the fight against them.
In the short term, there is potential for assisting the Dutch government in the administration of COVID-19 vaccinations.

Valuation Summary

Due to international travel restrictions, Thuisvaccinatie has witnessed a substantial drop in revenues. Therefore, 2020 was a challenging year for management and shareholders. Despite this, the long-term potential of Thuisvaccinatie is evident, thus acquirer VaccinatieZorg was willing to align its evaluation looking at the long-term horizon.
