WARNER ROBINS, Ga. Everything went tip-top, said veteran Joseph Bradley, after he was able to get his COVID-19 vaccination.
On Monday, one part of the VECTR (Veterans Education Career Transition Resource) Center in Warner Robins turned into a vaccination site for veterans. The partnership with the Carl Vinson VA Medical Center is focused on getting more veterans vaccinated. I called this week Monday, in fact and they set me up for today at 10:30, Bradley said.
Dublin VA Medical Director David Whitmer says so far 5,934 vets have been vaccinated or about 14 percent of the veteran population the Dublin VA serves.

WARNER ROBINS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – A new site will help distribute the COVID-19 vaccine to veterans in Houston County. This is thanks to a partnership between the Carl Vinson VA Medical Center and the Georgia Veterans Education Career Transition Resource (VECTR) Center.
Starting Monday, February 8th, the vaccine will be available to veterans 65 and older who are currently enrolled at the Dublin VAMC. The vaccines will be available at the Georgia VECTR Center located at 1001 S. Armed Forces Blvd in Warner Robins.
“Making the COVID-19 vaccine available to as many Veterans as possible is one of our highest priorities as we continue to fight this pandemic,” Carl Vinson VA Medical Center Director David L. Whitmer, FACHE said. “We are currently prioritizing Veterans 65 and older since they are the most at-risk demographic and we become more effective by expanding vaccination administration to areas with high Veteran populations.”
