In the original article, the labelling of “Class 2” and “Class 3” isolates was switched erroneously in Table 2 and Figure 9B. The corrected Table 2 and Figure 9 appear below.

MenB invasive isolates used in this study.

The SP class is indicated for each isolate.

Figure 9

Further, the year the Trumenba vaccine was licensed is incorrectly provided as “2015” and should be “2014”.

A correction has been made to the Introduction, paragraph three.

“Through an accelerated approval process, both Trumemba (Pfizer) and Bexsero (GSK) were licensed by the FDA in 2014 and 2015 respectively for immunization to prevent invasive disease by meningococcal group B in the United States in individuals 10 to 25 years of age. Trumenba comprises two recombinant FHbps, one from subfamily A, the other from subfamily B, both containing the lipid moiety found in the native protein (Fletcher et al., 2004; Gandhi et al., 2016). A recombinant non-lipidated form of FHbp from subfamily B is also one of the antigens of the Bexsero vaccine (GSK) (Vernikos and Medini, 2014) licensed for infants from 2 months of age in Europe in 2013 and, like Trumenba, now licensed globally (Basta and Christensen, 2016).”

The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
