There are no similarities. Vaccines are intended to stimulate the immune system to reject the virus. Anti-viral drugs are used once the patient has the infection. They work completely differently. Some treatments give passive immunity by infusing antibodies while giving a vaccine so the body will provide an active immunity at a later time. Passive immunity fades with time. Active immunity renews itself.
