Erratum Vol. 5, No. 3

In the article "Bacterial Vaccines and Serotype Replacement: Lessons from Haemophilus influenzae and Prospects for Streptococcus pneumoniae," by Marc Lipsitch, there is an error in the figure legend on page 339. Controls are incorrectly identified as black bars; however, in the text and the figure itself, controls are correctly represented by white bars and vaccine recipients by black bars. We regret any confusion this error may have caused.
