Competing Interests
I have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: BJC has received research funding from MedImmune Inc., and BJC and JSMP consults for Crucell NV. GML has received speaker honoraria from HSBC and CLSA. The authors report no other potential conflicts of interest. This does not alter our adherence to all PLOS policies on sharing data and materials.
