We review the yields of intermediate mass elements (from C to Zn) from massive stars and their associated uncertainties, in the light of recent theoretical results. We consider the role of those yields for our understanding of the chemical evolution of the solar neighbourhood and of the halo of our Galaxy. Current yields reproduce in a satisfactory way the solar system composition, but several problems remain concerning abundance ratios in halo stars.
