That's the word from the head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Thomas Frieden, who said his kids are going to get the vaccine when it becomes available, sometime next month. The agency chief said the vaccine is being made in the same way that the seasonal flu vaccine is made each year -- except that it's a new strain, the Associated Press reported.

Frieden also said that now that schools and colleges are back in session, health officials are seeing a fair amount of the flu already. He made his remarks Sunday during an interview on CNN's "State of the Union."
