As the coronavirus vaccine is not ready, the next best thing is antibody drugs. So, what is the difference between both of them? Antibody drugs are a cure & they cannot give immunity to the uninfected population. However, vaccines are preventive in nature. Antibody drugs stimulate the immune system to attack infected cells. Whereas, in case of vaccines, the body makes antibodies on its own to fight the inactivated virus samples.
