Default immune to and free from
Dear teachers,

I have some difficulty in distinguishing between 'immune to ' and 'free from'. For example, we can say 'He is immune from colds'. Could you please explain to me if I can say ' He is free from colds'?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you in advance.

Jiang
