选项 A、involved in
B、caring for
C、concerned with
D、warding off
答案B
解析 本题考查考生对固定词组搭配和词组含义的掌握。本题四个选项均为动词短语，选项[A]involved in表示“牵涉；卷入”，选项[B]caring for表示“照看；关心”，选项[C]concerned with表示“关注；忧虑”，选项[D]warding off表示“避开；阻挡”。本句意为“一些其他的高危人群也许可能接种疫苗，其中包括医疗人员、健康的年轻人等。”本题要填入的也是此群体中的一部分，其宾语为“婴儿”(infants)，根据上下文，合理的搭配应该是“照看婴儿的人群”，因此正确答案为选项[B]。
