Vaccinated Dog Tests Positive for Rabies, at Least 13 People Pep So Far

> a rare case of rabies in a dog within the City of Chicago. This is the first rabies-positive dog identified in Cook County since before 1964

Rabid dogs are common in the imagination but not in reality.

Breakthrough rabies in a previously vaccinated animal is very exceptional.

Unusual behaviour from infectious diseases often gets attention on HN; the topic is a classic nerd-snipe.

Though it has a lower mortality rate (rabies is a slate cleaner) - the tetanus end-game looks pretty rough as well. Vaccines FTW.
