Please see the CDC source:

Rabies is very rare in the US because of a robust anti-rabies effort including animal control and preventative shots. It certainly didn't used to be very rare in the US and it's still not very rare in other parts of the world.
For example, ~60,000 Americans get shots each year, a big part of why we keep deaths at ~3-5 each year.
