It was highlighted that the original article [1] contained a formatting error in the equations. These were all erroneously captured as Eq. 1. This Correction article shows the correct Eqs. 1–4. The original article has been updated.

Equation 1 (infant’s exposure)

$$C_{s,i}=\frac{I_{a,m}\ast t_{1/2,m}\ast f_m\ast \mathit{FE}}{\mathit{ln}2\ast B{F}_i},$$ 1

Equation 2 (probability of not getting pregnant)

$$P\left(a\right)={\left(1-0.65\left(1+\frac{-0.39c}{c+10\mathit{pg}/g}\right)\right)}^{2a}$$ 2

Equation 3 (disease burden)

$$\mathit{Bo}{D}_i=\mathit{BoD}\ast \mathit{PA}{F}_i=\mathit{BoD}\ast f_i\frac{R{R}_i-1}{f_i\left(R{R}_i-1\right)+1},\mathit{\text{or}}$$ 3

$$\mathit{Bo}{D}_i=N_i\ast L\ast \mathit{Dw}=P\ast f_i\ast U{R}_i\ast E_i\ast L\ast \mathit{Dw}$$ 4

Equation 4 (value of information)

$$\mathit{VOI}=E\left(\mathit{ma}{x}_i\left(U\left(d_i\right)\right)\right)-\mathit{ma}{x}_i\left(E\left(U\left(d_i\right)\right)\right),$$ 5
