Best thing is to build your immune system....and not count on a vaccine...

It seems to me keeping our immune systems strong, by getting enough to eat, getting enough rest, and staying comfortably warm - and, of course, don't smoke - keeps us fairly safe from the coronavirus, if we use common sense. But now that I have the vaccine, I feel a lot safer.

It still takes a strong immune system to handle this virus...   all a vaccine does is to show it what to fight before it has a chance to take hold.

So to kind of half way disagree with the OP, we actually need both.

I take organic food based vitamin supplements every day (meaning, the vitamins are derived from organic food sources rather than synthesized chemicals), but I think what staves off viruses best is Zinc, C and D3. 

Zinc is interesting.  It has an ability to throw a wrench in virus production at a cellular level.   While it cannot prevent a virus from showing up in the first place, a virus cannot reproduce itself very well when zinc is in the cells and this gives the body time to fire up defenses.   Zinc can even get rid of warts (warts are produced by a virus) after a month or two.  There are interesting studies on that topic.

Note, you don't have to take much Zinc daily for it to have good effects.  I take about 15 mg of Zinc daily, in a liquid form.  

Tip:  This is a simplified statement, but when a plant consumes iron or calcium or something, it hangs an amino acid on it, and then those non-organic things become an organic form of iron or calcium.  When you eat that plant that has 'eaten' minerals, your body can immediately metabolize those organic substances.  That's why I choose food based vitamins, in case you were curious.

Magnesium is also helpful in addition to these three.

Be very careful taking magnesium or potassium supplements. It can cause heart arrythmias. Serious heart arrythmias.

I'm a big believer in FOOD SOURCE vitamins....God intended us to get our nutrition of the FOOD we eat :)....they are MUCH better absorbed compared to synthetic ones.

Indeed. I reference a study in 2019, referred to by the U.S. NIH in an article entitled, "Study Finds No Benefit For Dietary Supplements." This crops up in the news cycle now and again; an earlier treatment by the BBC (2016) can be found in the article, "Why vitamin pills don't work, and may be bad for you."

As a rule I don't furnish links on the forum, but both may be easily found on a search engine using the titles.
