> Antisense drugs are much simpler, with no immune response required. The mRNA (the drug) itself simply binds to the target mRNA.
Does that make them a class of "cures" rather than "immunizations"? If I get infected with the same thing a year later, will I need another dose of the antisense drug?
Vaccines have a shelf life in your body. It's good to get a titer every once in a while to make sure you don't need a booster. A year would be short though, unless you mean variants/mutations, which would really be reinfection, not with the same thing.
