Great example of the effectiveness of vaccination. In 1992, Norway introduced vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae and the next year under seven disease burden dropped massively.

My continued frustration with this DuoLingo language app. Trying to learn Norwegian but criticising my English. It is possible of course that my English is poor but is 'You first have to dial six' or 'You have to dial six first ' incorrect? The suggested 'You have to first dial six' seems ugly?
