Summary: We prove that the operator norm of every Banach space valued Calderon-Zygmund operator $T$ on the weighted Lebesgue--Bochner space depends linearly on the Muckenhoupt $A_2$ characteristic of the weight. In parallel with the proof of the real-valued case, the proof is based on pointwise dominating every Banach space valued Calderon-Zygmund operator by a series of positive dyadic shifts. In common with the real-valued case, the pointwise dyadic domination relies on Lerner's local oscillation decomposition formula, which we extend from the real-valued case to the Banach space valued case. This extension is based on a Banach space valued generalization of the notion of median.
