Monoclonal antibodies have become a popular and effective treatment to guard against serious cases of Covid-19, but health experts are constantly reminding people that the treatment is not a replacement for the vaccine. M.G. Finn, Professor and Chair, and James A. Carlos Family Chair for Pediatric Technology in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, points out that laboratory created antibodies come with an expiration date. “It’s not long term protection,” Finn said. “You’re simulating what your own immune system will do, but you’re only simulating it for a few days.”
