This is a correction notice for a previously published scientific article examining the relationship between perceived neighborhood social cohesion and COVID-19 vaccination rates among adults aged 50 and older in South Korea, using data from the Korean Community Health Survey. The correction addresses errors or issues in the original publication, though the specific nature of the corrections is not detailed in the provided excerpt. The original study investigated whether individuals who perceive stronger social connections in their neighborhoods were more likely to receive COVID-19 vaccinations.


Understanding the social factors that influence vaccination uptake is important for public health interventions and designing effective communication strategies to improve vaccination rates. This research may help identify community-level characteristics that promote health-protective behaviors among older populations.
