The authors regret the incorrect publication of the amino acid sequence of the epitopes of the surface spike glycoprotein in Table 3. However, it should be noted that they were correctly used for the generation of the vaccine construct (as mentioned in the supplementary Table and supplementary Fig. 2), and so there is no change in the data/results. The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.
