WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE Col. Patrick Miller popped on social media Wednesday for the installation’s first coronavirus town hall in almost a month and a half. As the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base commander tells it, no news is typically good news, but as the base approaches new pandemic milestones, installation leadership updated the community on several things, including Wright Patt’s progress on vaccinations.
To date the base has administered almost 20,000 vaccines, with approximately 9,000 people fully vaccinated. The state of Ohio is “outpacing” Wright-Patt, Miller said, so those numbers do not account for any base personnel who may have gotten their vaccine from a civilian source.
