Erratum to: Epidemiology of Pneumococcal Disease in a National Cohort of Older Adults

Erratum to: Infect Dis Ther DOI 10.1007/s40121-014-0025-y

The authors would like to make the following adjustment to the above mentioned article. In the published Table 1, total inpatient incidence should be placed under the heading “Inpatient incidence” and not “Outpatient incidence”. The correction can be seen in the table below.
