Why can’t we take the immunity from and old person (who’s had lots of colds and flus) and use it to innoculate everyone?

Question

I’m laying here with a nasty cold and am curious… I don’t know where our immunity information is stored in our bodies, but why can’t we draw that immunity out of one person and inject it into someone else, and save them from getting sick from many versions of the rhinovirus?

I am in no way a medical expert or professional. But, some diseases do work that way. When I was in the army, I had so many anthrax vaccinations that they took my plasma to either treat it or make more, I don’t remember which.
