Chiu, “Long-Lasting Protection and Dose Optimization of MPXV Polyvalent Mpox mRNA Vaccines Against Lethal Vaccinia Virus Challenge in Mice, ” Journal of Medical Virology 97, no. 1 (2025), e70143. https://doi.org/10.1002/jmv.70143

In the first paragraph of Section 3.3, the text “BALB/c mice (n = 6).” was incorrect. This should have read: “BALB/c mice (n = 5).

In paragraph 5 of the “Results” section, the text “As shown in Figure 4A, all the mice immunized with…” was incomplete in the number of mice in each group. This should have read: “As shown in Figure 4A, all the mice (n = 10 in the experimental group, n = 8 in the control group) immunized with…”

In Figure 3, the same image was used for Figure 3G,K. Figure 3K should change to the following image:

In Figure 4B, we made mistakes when drawing the graph. According to Figure 4A, on the sixth day, although two mice were still alive, they were in a moribund state, and their body weight had decreased by more than 25% of their initial body weight. And the two mice were humanely euthanized according to the statement in paragraph 3 of the “Materials and Methods” section “the mice were euthanized when weight loss exceeded 25% of their initial body weight.” Figure 4B should be changed to the following image:

We apologize for these errors.
