Notification of cases of systemic pneumococcal disease has been mandatory since Norway’s notification system for infectious diseases (Meldingssystem for smittsomme sykdommer, MSIS) was implemented at a national level in 1975. The legislation was updated with the introduction of the Infectious Diseases Control Act in 1995.
