Fell DB, Johnson J, Mor Z, et al. Incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza disease among infants under 6 months of age: a systematic review. BMJ Open 2017;7:e016526. doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2017-016526

In figure 2 and online supplementary table 3, Bennet (2016) are reported to have found an influenza incidence of 144 per 10 000 in infants younger than six months; however, the correct figure is a median yearly incidence 1998–2014 of 144 per 10⁵ in this age group, which equals 14.4 per 10 000. This correct figure is among the lowest in similar settings, and considerably reduces the variability of reported incidences.

The corrected figure 2 is shown below:
