Specific to lab: You'll need to contact the health professional who ordered it or the laboratory where the test was run as there is controversy about what a normal range is and different labs have different testing methods. All the best.

>1.3: Usually 1.3 or above would be considered protective level for IgG. More importantly, it is the % of the total response to the number of strains tested which is more meaningful. As a post-vaccination response to Pneumovax 23, the % of protective level cover 70% or more to be considered normal.
