Hi!
welcome to HCM!
Your report indicates IgG equivocal that means somewhere in between negative and positive.A repeat test is indicated for confirmation.The presence of IgG antibodies but not IgM antibodies indicates a history of past exposure to the virus or vaccination and indicates that the person tested should be immune to the rubella.
Take care!
