There isnt a way to do it in the least amount of time. For most routes, you will need to get your bachelors in biology, biochemistry, or microbiology (some sources also list chemistry). That will take you about 3 to 4 years.
Then you will need to do your PhD program which is 5 to 6 years assuming you want to do RESEARCH immunologist.
The other way is to get your bachelors, then go to med school. Med school will take you about 4 years. Then you have to do your residency program which is 3 years. After that you do your fellowship to be certified which is 2 year-ish.
Regardless it will take about 10-13 years to become a immunologist.
