The Robley Rex VA Medical Center has announced that they will be vaccinating veterans identified as those who are high risk, over the age of 75, and those residing in congregate living residences. Officials say that veterans that meet those qualifications will be contacted to schedule their first dose of the Moderna vaccine. Currently, those receiving care through the VA are being contacted first. Those who are not but wish to check their eligibility may contact Robley Rex VA Medical Center.

One of the area’s largest manufacturers is adding jobs. Metalsa USA announced Tuesday that their Elizabethtown location would be home to 300 new, full-time entry level technician positions. In a press release, the company said that the new jobs were a result of a higher demand for the company’s signature product: vehicle frames for light and heavy weight trucks.
Those qualifying employees are able to receive welding certification at no cost, as well as an apprenticeship program for eligible union members. Those interested can find more information on Metalsa’s website.
