Prevention of Hepatitis B with the Hepatitis B Vaccine (Clinical Practice, N Engl J Med 2004:351;2832 - 2838) . On page 2832, under the heading “Hepatitis B Virus and Infection,” lines 1 and 2 should have read, “It is one of the smallest DNA viruses known to infect humans,” rather than “the smallest DNA virus,” as printed. On page 2834, lines 1 and 2 of the right-hand column should have read, “For many people, a standard 1.6-cm (5/8-in.) needle is insufficient to penetrate the deltoid fat pad,” rather than “12.7-cm,” as printed. We regret the errors.
