A vaccine helps stimulate and prepare your immune system to respond if or when you are exposed to the virus, Petty says. Your immune system is ready to create all these antibodies before they are needed.
Monoclonal antibodies boost the immune system after you are already sick, speeding up your immune response to prevent COVID-19 from getting worse. But a vaccine does this much easier and much better, Petty says.
You can think of monoclonal antibodies as guided missiles that target and neutralize the virus, Fales says. But they don't stick around. While monoclonal antibodies are effective for about a month, they are long gone 6 months later, when a vaccine still offers significant protection.
