An Indian doctor of Russian-Jewish origin Vladimir Havkin was the first to invent and test a plague vaccine.

The traditional treatments are:

Streptomycin 30 mg/kg IM twice daily for 7 days
Chloramphenicol 25–30 mg/kg single dose, followed by 12.5–15 mg/kg four times daily
Tetracycline 2 g single dose, followed by 500 mg four times daily for 7–10 days (not suitable for children)
More recently,

Gentamicin 2.5 mg/kg IV or IM twice daily for 7 days
Doxycycline 100 mg (adults) or 2.2 mg/kg (children) orally twice daily
have also been shown to be effective
