Software company Adobe told U.S. employees Friday that they have to
be vaccinated against Covid-19 by Dec. 8 or they will be placed on
unpaid leave.

In an email to employees viewed by CNBC, Adobe said the policy was
due to President Biden's executive order for federal contractors to
have all employees vaccinated.

The email, which was sent by Adobe's Chief People Officer Gloria
Chen, also said that 93.5% of U.S. employees who responded to an
internal company survey already said they were fully vaccinated or
going through their series of vaccines.

Chen said Adobe would consider religious and medical exemptions for
employees who can't get the vaccine.

An Adobe spokesperson confirmed the contents of Chen's email to CNBC.

The policy echoes that of IBM, which also told U.S. employees this
month that they'd have to be vaccinated or go on unpaid leave due to
Biden's executive order.
