Clinical trials for the CYD-TDV dengue vaccine showed that vaccine efficacy varies with prior dengue exposure, but baseline serostatus is only known for 12% of subjects. Here, Dorigatti et al. use machine learning to impute baseline serostatus and determine vaccine efficacy by baseline serostatus, age and dengue serotype.
