Microsoft is joining the list of corporations that are requiring their employees to be fully vaccinated before returning to the office.

The company sent an email to employees Tuesday announcing the requirement, which also applies to guests who come to the offices.

Employees will be going back to the office Oct. 4, with some employees who have children or a person in their household who is immunocompromised allowed to stay home until the beginning of next year.

The announcement follows several other major companies such as Google and Walmart who announced a vaccine requirement for employees last week.
