A Corrigendum on
Fake News or Weak Science? Visibility and Characterization of Antivaccine Webpages Returned by Google in Different Languages and Countries
by Arif, N., Al-Jefri, M., Bizzi, I. H., Perano, G. B., Goldman, M., Haq, I., et al. (2018). Front. Immunol. 9:1215. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2018.01215
In the original article, there was a mistake in Supplementary Material Data Sheet 1 as published. In the tab “Australia” the value of cell M191 should be “0” instead of “1” and that of cell N191 should be “1” instead of “0.” The corrected Supplementary Material Data Sheet 1 has been replaced in the original article.
In addition, there was a mistake in Table 6 as published. The percentage of vaccine-negative websites for Australia should be “33.3%” instead of “16.7%.” The corrected Table 6 appears below.
TABLE 6
Table 6. Frequency of vaccine-negative webpages in each typology.
