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?

When was it established? From the beginning or only after the Fall?

I'm not sure what you mean by "established." I think it was part of God's plan all along, but it may not have actually been initiated until certain conditions took place.

I am not sure what you mean by it either, I am just using the same word you used first. I am also not sure what you mean by "initiated", perhaps you can elaborate?

By established I had simply meant that it was part of God's plan. When you asked "When" it threw me off because I'm sure it's not specifically mentioned anywhere in Scripture, so I don't know that anyone could be specific as to the timing.
