A vaccine is a weakened or incapacitated version of a disease that teaches your body how to fight of a real infection. This can be both a virus or a bacteria.
Penicilin is a medicine that kills bacteria.
Vaccinations prevent sickness Penecilin (or other antibiotics) cure bacterial infections
Vaccines are not a treatment for sick people You cant prevent whats already there
