I suspect that the estimate of 0.3 was rounded up from 0.277, which would work out to 240 cases per year in that population.
That estimate was based on the 40 reports in VAERS that were most likely to have been associated with vaccination, assuming all cases were reported to VAERS (no reporting bias). Thus this annualized estimate is 6 times the corresponding numbers reported during the study period.
