Thorn did this

Thorn did this

Hello,

I had this thorn in the tire as shown in the image.
I thought leaving it might cause more issues and pulled it out.
Just for kicks I did the soap bubble test, and to my horror i saw tiny bubbles foaming.

what do you guys think?
do i need a new tire or can i drive with a slow leak like this?

caveat:
I do need to leave the car for 3 weeks, could the whole tire be flat when i return?
