I don't think any were. This plane was strictly an interceptor for
shooting down bombers. No guns, no ground attack capability.
Absolutely no use in Viet Nam.

One F-102 was lost over North Vietnam.

82nd FIS flew F-102s out of Bien Hoa in 1968.

509th FIS flew out of Tan Son Nhut and Danang and
from Don Muang (Thailand) in 1968.

Adding a political comment, when George W. joined the Texas ANG, he
was assigned to an F-102 unit. Some of the comments about that were
that it was a very safe unit to join as there was no possibility of
overseas assignment.
