I usually think in terms of DIY fixing it myself. So maybe a real mechanic will chime in here, too.
Vacuum leak can be very simple to fix, like replacing a bit of hose. But it might take a while to FIND. So it's kinda labor-intensive. Before you take it in, you could explore your engine looking for disconnected or cracking vacuum hoses...
Replacing the O2 sensor is easier than a spark plug. But the part is a couple hundred $ (I think?) at a dealer.
I suggested those as a couple likely possibilities that popped into mind. There's probably a dozen other less-likely things that can cause that code.
