There are 325 triple CIB Infantrymen, and 3,471 Medal of Honor Recipients.
Are there any other medals or badges that have been awarded fewer times than the Medal of Honor?

Definitely those three. The only other way to have three CIBs would be to fight as an Infantryman in Korea, Vietnam or a somehow related conflict as late as the 90s and again Post-9/11 as I understand it. Obviously no one did that. All the triple CIB guys were Veterans of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.
