Pardon me, but is this girl now the only human on the planet immune to rabies?

I think the actual discovery is that many may have the immunity if it can be spurred on. Like one poster stated though, the shots involve less risk but of course they have to be given early and that was not her situation.

No, I don't think she's the only one immune to the disease. Veterinarians and wildlife officials take the rabies vaccine to protect them, or so I have heard.
