The article’s Acknowledgments section has been updated to reflect this change. The correct Acknowledgments is as follows: I also want to acknowledge Dr. Nimzing F Jip, Dr. Egege and the entire Nigerian Carter Centre field professionals and staff for excellent team work.

Additionally, an incorrect version of Fig 1, without the correct follicular trachoma prevalence values, was published in error. The correct follicular trachoma prevalence for Nasarawa State in 2012 was 1.6% and for Plateau State in 2012 was 4.8%.
