Most commonly, immunity: "a state of having sufficient biological defenses to avoid infection, disease, or other unwanted biological invasion." (Wikipedia). Immunity is naturally acquired (via exposure or maternally-transferred antibodies in utero) or artificially required through the use of vaccines.

If left untreated, and possibly even if treated, RA is a degenerative disease that can deform the hands or feet especially to such a degree as to make it impossible to do some kinds, or even any kind of work.
