If it only affects 2-3 people per year in the US, then is it worth it?

Might it not be better to reduce rabies in wildlife, or spend the money on other kinds of vaccinations?

It effects ~50,000 people per year (in the US). It fails a couple.

I guess there is a lot to account for when you start talking about preventative vaccination instead of post exposure vaccination.
