I defer to medical professionals but (while good) I don’t think a COVID vaccine and antibody treatments are the same thing, confirm/deny?

Correct. Rabies is actually a great example. When someone suffers a concerning wound, you flood the area surrounding the wound with rabies immune globulin -- antibodies -- to bind up the virus at the site. Then, distant from the site, you inject the rabies vaccine on days 0, 3, 7, and 14 to prompt the patient to mount his or her own immune response. That immune globulin injection typically is weight-based and around 9-11 milliliters or so; the vaccine shots are much smaller. Vaccines are great because you can give them whenever to protect someone in the future, while Ig is an attempt to decrease current viral burden in someone who doesn't have time to mount a immune response, which takes a while.
