When this article was originally published in Epidemiology & Infection it contained errors in its figures and an error in the display of a reference. Figure 2 has been updated and the sizes of figures 4 and 5 have been adjusted.
The line ‘Two novel studies of age-stratified pandemic mixing were identified: the UK CoMix study and a multi-country study by Del Fava et al. [13] and [14]’ has been updated to ‘Two novel studies of age-stratified pandemic mixing were identified: the UK CoMix study and a multi-country study by Del Fava et al. [13, 14].’
The publisher apologises for this error.
