A shot of hope.
That’s what the owners and staff of Dokimos pharmacies have offered Nevada County residents.
“We knew we needed to step up and create a COVID-19 vaccine clinic,” said owner David Dokimos, “rather than wait for the large corporate drugstores to eventually begin taking vaccination appointments. We just needed to find a way to do it without losing a ton of money.”
David and Kelly Dokimos, with help from their daughter Jacque, opened western Nevada County’s first COVID-19 vaccine clinic for the public Jan. 28. They rented the former Ol’ Republic Brewery below the Dokimos Nevada City pharmacy. For the past three months, the three have logged long hours during the day at the clinic, and then worked late into the evening to keep their Grass Valley and Nevada City pharmacies up and running.
