Does an erratum in a major journal count as a publication?

So a research project i did ended up becoming a fully published paper and an erratum.
Can i list the erratum as a publication as well? (It appeared in a major professional journal).
And list the actual published paper as a separate publication?
Also, if i have the final corected draft of the paper in my hand, and it will appear in the journal in a couple weeks, can i list it as a publication already on my secondaries?

I wouldn't list the erratum. Sounds too much like grabbing at straws to me.

I would technically list the article as accepted for publication if it's not going to be published by the time you submit. Seems like a fairly minor point though.

No, you can not, should not, list an erraum (which means "something that was left out") as a separate publication. List the original article itself and add erratum published on [date], and then give the citation such as N Engl J Med 2009;388:123.

ohh lorddd..are they going to laugh at me? i only listed the erratum, not the actual publication.
can this application cycle get any worse for me sighh

I mean i wrote the name of the actual article, but in the citation part i wrote the citation of the eratum not the article, since the article will be published this month, but the eratum was published a few months ago. Helppp

I have never heard of an erratum published before the article itself. An erratum is like a correction but is specifically that something was left out (like a column in a table) rather than something that was misstated which would require a correction.
