- Antibiotics are given before infection to prevent disease; vaccines are given only after infection to cure it.
- Antibiotics kill bacteria during an infection; vaccines prepare the immune system before infection.
- Both antibiotics and vaccines directly kill viruses inside body cells.
- Vaccines neutralise bacterial toxins during infection; antibiotics train white blood cells to recognise pathogens.
