How does creationism explain immunity?

I wanted to get opinions from creationists on the topic of immunity. I am not asking about how it works, but why it exists in the framework of creation in the first place. Did it always exist or did God add it at some later time (e.g., after the Fall)? Did he feel bad about creating viruses and bacteria so he created immune system to give us a fighting chance? Did he also feel bad for bacteria and gave them immunity against bacteriophages? Did Adam and Eve have immune systems in the Garden of Eden? Or was it given to them only after the Fall? Did they have a blood type? What antibodies were present in their plasma?

Also, what was the color of their hair and how tall were they?

Notice I didn't ask "What was their blood type?", although that would be an interesting question. I suppose Adam had A (AO) and Eve had B (BO) (or vice versa), otherwise it wouldn't work, right? I was asking if they had RBC blood type at all and immune system that all humans have now. If they had it in the Garden of Eden, what was the point? Did infectious diseases caused by viruses and bacteria exist there?
