In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Table S5 (adults), which was a duplicate of Table S5 (children). The corrected Table S5 appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.

Table S5.

Meta-analysis of serotype-specific proportion * of IPD isolates from children and adults.

15B/C 18 6.2 (4.4–8.7)
22F 20 4.2 (2.7–6.3)
33F 18 4.4 (3.0–6.4)
Adults Serotype N (Studies) Proportion (95% CI)
PCV13 NIP, initial period (<3 years)
All PCV13 13 49.5 (45.0–57.0)
PCV20nonPCV13
8 10 4.1 (1.6–10.4)
10A 8 1.8 (1.0–3.5)
11A 10 3.7 (2.4–5.6)
12F 7 2.4 (1.5–4.0)
15B/C 11 2.5 (1.7–3.6)
22F 13 7.7 (5.9–9.9)
33F 7 1.8 (1.2–2.7)
PCV13 NIP, later period (≥3 years)
All PCV13 9 27.3 (19.6–36.7)
PCV20nonPCV13
8 13 10.2 (7.6–13.4)
10A 13 2.4 (1.9–3.0)
11A 13 2.7 (2.4–3.1)
12F 13 6.2 (4.7–8.1)
15B/C 11 1.5 (1.2–2.0)
22F 13 6.7 (5.7–7.8)
33F 12 2.5 (1.8–3.4)

* Calculated with a binomial random-effects meta-analytic model for each serotype-specific proportion independently. Consequently, the sum of all PCV20nonPCV13 serotypes may exceed 100%.
