Sir is there any minimum and maximum percentage for immunity system. Or there is no limit for immunity? I am waiting for you sir.

I feel-- the human immune system have general immunity and specific immunity to specific disease agents and the percentage is expressed by some doctors to explain to common man regarding the status of immunity --as immunity is a vast subject and to discuss in detail about the increase and decrease in immunity in technical terms may be more complicating and confusing to a common patient .----subject to corrections by my collegues.
