On page 1142, the second sentence of the second complete paragraph should have read, “During September 2022–August 2023, VE against hospitalization among adults aged ≥65 years without an immunocompromising condition waned from 67% (95% CI = 62%–71%) at 7–59 days postvaccination to 28% (95% CI = 18%–36%) at 120–179 days (13).” In addition, the fifth sentence of the second complete paragraph should have read, “VE against emergency department and urgent care visits among persons aged 5–17, 18–64, and ≥65 years ranged from 59%–63% by age group 7–59 days after a bivalent dose, waning to 36%–47% by age group 60–119 days after a bivalent dose (13).”
