Vaccination is useful as it generates effective immunity system against the infection as throat system is highly affected by swab and cannot be cured by tablets.

Why not vaccination is used to kill virus?

Because this is not an bacterial infection, this is caused due to the viral infection.

Antibiotics is just for killing bacteria. Antibiotics mainly focus cell walls bacteria has the cell wall.

Doctor's decision for not taking anti-biotics because it is helpful in killing bacteria not viruses. So a viral infection can not be cured by anti-biotics also not by any vaccine because its a preventive measure not a cure, so do not work when the infection is done.
