Actually, Casey was allergic to the vaccine (there was indeed a vaccine for Rabies in 1961). This particular episode was the first Ben Casey and aired in late September or early October of 1961.

Ah! I wasn’t sure if you meant that someone had survived, or that we didn’t have the vaccine/treatment before 1962.

Thanks.

This year, 2005, was the first time someone has survived rabies without the vaccine.

Scott;

Do you mean rabies was incurable until “this” year, meaning 2005, or “this year,” meaning 1962, when the comic came out?
