Bubonic Plague never went away and it doesn't make much sense to vaccinate against it. It's still carried primarily by fleas and other small blood drinking bugs, prairie dogs can also commonly carry it. Plague is treated relatively easily by antibiotics and isn't usually fatal or likely to cause long term damage. As the title indicates there're usually 7-10ish cases of plague per year in America and those are rarely fatal
