Sometimes, when you're looking for clear health information, you might come across a notice that a report has been corrected. That's what this is—an erratum. It means the publisher has fixed an error in a previously published report about vaccine recommendations. There's no new research here, no fresh data about how well vaccines work or what side effects they might have. It's simply a housekeeping note to make sure the scientific record is accurate. If you're trying to make a decision about vaccination, this notice doesn't give you any new facts to consider. It's a reminder that science is a process of getting things right, which sometimes means going back and correcting the record.

What this means for you:
This is a correction notice, not new vaccine information.
