How to interpret the Variant Allele Frequency??

I am new to the field of Bioinformatics and seeking guidance. I am currently in the process of calculating the Variant Allele Frequency (VAF) using the VarScan software. I have obtained the results and have included screenshots for reference. I would greatly appreciate assistance in understanding how to interpret these results.

These are the Headings of the result

CHROM   POS ID  REF ALT QUAL    FILTER  INFO    FORMAT  Sample1

Variant allele frequency (VAF) = Depth at Altered Allele / Total Depth

Total depth = Depth at Altered Allele + Depth at Reference Allele
