The authors would like to make the following corrections to this published paper [1].

There was a mistake in the legend and picture for Figure 1. For month 6 for the cohort “siponimod continuous”, one patient’s data were missing. This also affected the number of booster patients with identical month 6 and month 1 after the booster visit in the figure legend (old: 10 booster patients with n = 6 in cohort 1; corrected: 11 booster patients with n = 7 in cohort 1). The correct legend and figure appear below.

There was a mistake in the legend and picture for Figure 2. The number of booster patients with identical month 6 and month 1 after the booster visit was wrong (old: 10 booster patients with n = 6 in cohort 1; corrected: 11 booster patients with n = 7 in cohort 1). The labels of the x-axis of Figure 2A for month 1 after the booster in the cohort “siponimod continuous” contained an error (old: n = 16; corrected: n = 14). Furthermore, in the analysis of total anti-spike antibodies (Figure 2B), patients with an invalid control had been erroneously included. This has been corrected in accordance with an amendment to the clinical study report. The correct legend and figure appear below.

There was a mistake in the legend and picture for Supplementary Figure S1. In Figure S1A, one patient’s data were missing at month 6 in the cohort “siponimod continuous” and have since been added. This change also affected the figure legend: the explanation on the missing data (*) had to be revised (old: *one sample missing for month 1 and month 6; corrected: one sample missing for month 1), as well as the number of booster patients with identical month 6 and month 1 after the booster visit (old: 10 booster patients with n = 6 in cohort 1; corrected: 11 booster patients with n = 7 in cohort 1). Furthermore, the explanations on missing data in Figure S1B (, **) were not clearly assigned to part (B) of the figure legend. The explanations have been moved up. The correct legend and figure appear below.

The proportion of patients with SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell responses in cohort 1 mentioned within the text (Abstract and Results) was inconsistent with the data in Figure 2A (old text version: 28.5%; corrected text version: 26.7%). The original sentence in the Abstract, “T-cell responses were seen in 28.5%, 25.0%, and 73.7% at month 6 and in 28.6%, 50.0%, and 83.3% after the booster (cohorts 1, 2, and 3, respectively)”, should be changed to “T-cell responses were seen in 26.7%, 25.0%, and 73.7% at month 6 and in 28.6%, 50.0%, and 83.3% after the booster (cohorts 1, 2, and 3, respectively).” The first sentence in Paragraph 3, Results Section, “SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell responses were seen in only 28.5% (cohort 1) and 25.0% (cohort 2) at month 6, as well as in 28.6% (cohort 1) and 50.0% (cohort 2) at month 1 after the booster”, should be updated to “SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell responses were seen in only 26.7% (cohort 1) and 25.0% (cohort 2) at month 6, as well as in 28.6% (cohort 1) and 50.0% (cohort 2) at month 1 after the booster”.

The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected.
