Erratum to: Highlighting consensus among medical scientists increases public support for vaccines: evidence from a randomized experiment

The Original Article was published on 03 December 2015

Erratum

Following the publication of this article [1], it was brought to our attention that Table 2 of the Appendix contains a typographical error. The right column of the table incorrectly reads (N = 216) instead of (N = 206).

In addition, Table 3 of the Appendix contains some non-consequential rounding errors for the Mean (S.D.). The corrected table is provided below:

Table 3 Survey questions and descriptive statistics

The above errors do not influence the findings and conclusions presented in the article [1].
