Let's welcome another Dynavax Summer Intern, Michelle Le! Michelle joins us from UC Santa Barbara and is working closely with our CMC project management team. Here's to a summer filled with learning, growth, and unforgettable moments. #DynavaxStrong

We recently announced a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of Z-1018, our investigational vaccine candidate being developed for the prevention of shingles.   Shingles is an extremely painful consequence of the reactivation of a latent varicella-zoster virus infection, the same virus that causes childhood chickenpox, with attacks leading to potential complications including chronic pain. While there are currently approved vaccines for shingles, there is an unmet medical need for a shingles vaccine with both high efficacy and improved tolerability.

Our team had such an amazing time volunteering at the FIND food bank in Indio, CA! We came together and packed over 3,000 pounds of fresh produce, along with 1250 snack bags to help support kids during the summer break. 🍎 🥕 It was more than just giving back; it was about building a community of collaboration and doing what's right. Let's keep spreading kindness and making a difference! #Volunteer #DynavaxStrong #DynavaxCommunityOutreach

According to the CDC, vaccines are the safest, most effective way to protect yourself and your family from many preventable diseases. All healthcare personnel play a crucial role in promoting vaccination and fostering a culture of immunization. A strong recommendation for vaccination is an essential part of it.
