Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-27799-z, published online 24 January 2022.

The original version of this Article contained errors in References 1, 33 and 77.

Ref. 1 was incorrectly given with incomplete bibliographical information as: ‘Jackson, L. A. et al. An mRNA Vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 – Preliminary Report. N. Engl. J. Med. (2020)’. The correct form of Ref. 1 is: ‘Jackson, L. A. et al. An mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2—preliminary report. N. Engl. J. Med. 383, 1920–1931 (2020)’.

Ref. 33 was incorrectly given with incomplete patent information as: ‘Bradbury, A. R. M., Erasmus, M. F. & Teixeira, A. (ed. USPTO) (Specifica Inc, US; 2020)’. The correct form of Ref. 33 is: ‘Bradbury, A. R. M., Erasmus, M. F. & Teixeira, A. A. R. US patent 10,954,508 (2021)’.

Ref. 77, which was given as: ‘77. Kreye, J. et al. A Therapeutic Non-self-reactive SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Protects from Lung Pathology in a COVID-19 Hamster Model. Cell 183, 1058–1069 e1019 (2020).’, was a duplication of Ref. 48. In the correct version, the duplicate reference is removed and all other references are renumbered accordingly.

In addition, the original version of this Article contained an error in the fourth sentence of the Discussion, which incorrectly read ‘Presently, 86 vaccines against 18 different organisms (including strains) are approved for use in the US’ The correct version replaces this sentence with ‘Presently, 103 vaccines against 32 different organisms (including strains) are approved for use in the US’.

This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
