Children are vulnerable to dangerous infections when their immune systems are severely weakened by other diseases.B. Children are particularly unconcerned with hygiene and therefore are the group most responsible for spreading the flu virus to others.C. The vaccinations received last year will confer no immunity to this year’s flu virus.D. Children who catch one strain of the flu virus and then recover are likely to develop immunity to at least some strains with which they have not yet come in contact.E. Children are no more likely than adults to have immunity to a particular flu virus if they have never lived through a previous epidemic of the same virus.

  • In the second stage however, the thinking and the knowing of the person becomes more rational. He starts to adhere other points of view, and realities that all authorities may be right in their respect and there is no one single truth. This is the stage of “anything goes”
  • In the third stage of knowing, which is the “thinking critical stage”, here the individual out of curiosity and self-introspection, develops the rational and critical thinking that even though authorities say a point of view, other point of view also hold because there is convincing fact that supports the same.
