However, with the work of modern medicine, antibiotics such as streptomycin, gentamicin and doxycycline have been developed to treat the plague. However, if treatment is not received within 24 hours of contracting symptoms, death can result. (NLM, 2013) With the development of antibiotics to treat the plague, treatment reduces your chances of mortality to 15%, but without treatment the prognosis for a person infected with the bubonic plague has a 50% to 90% death rate. Furthermore, if left untreated, the bubonic plague can either multiply in the bloodstream, causing septicaemic plague, or progress to the lungs, causing pneumonic plague, both of which have a higher mortality rate, even with antibiotic treatment. However, several preventive measures can be taken to limit your risk of contracting the disease, active immunization with a vaccine of killed bacteria offers protection against the bubonic plague. This particular vaccine is administered in three doses, with the first two 1 – 3 months apart, and dose three administered 5 – 6 months after the second vaccine. However, booster shots are required every 6 months in high risk areas, such as western USA. (UCLA,
