(Courtesy/City of Malden) By Steve Freker he Malden Rabies Clinic is back and will be held on Saturday, May 11 from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the Malden Central Fire Station. Malden Police Dept. Animal Control Officer Kevin Alkins is urging all pet “parents” in Malden and from surrounding communities to take advantage of the return of the Rabies Clinic. The clinic was postponed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic but is now “back in business” for the third year in a row, according to Alkins. While in the past the clinic has been open to Malden residents only, the pet protection clinic is now available to all nonresidents as well. “We want to make sure anyone who wants to take PROTECT your PET!

Rabies is a preventable viral disease most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The rabies virus infects the central nervous system of animals and humans alike, ultimately causing disease in the brain and death. This year’s Malden Rabies Clinic will be held on Saturday, May 11 from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the Malden Central Fire Station (1 Sprague St., corner of Salem Street). The fire station is located directly across the street from Malden High School (77 Salem St.). The cost of the Rabies Vaccination for dogs and cats is only $15.00 per shot with the following regulations: —All dogs must be leashed —All cats must be in a carrier For any questions or for more information, contact Malden Police Animal Control at 781-3977171, x1302.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 5, 2024 Page 3 ~ Op Ed ~ End test and punish approach to education in Massachusetts By Jessica Gold Boots E very educator knows that the high-stakes nature of the MCAS means a signifi cant amount of learning time is eaten up by test prep, limiting our exploration of diverse subjects and impeding our ability to provide a well-rounded education. A colleague added up testing days for all required assessments and realized that almost a quarter of our days are spent testing students. Instead of fostering a love for learning, educators like me fi nd themselves trapped in a cycle of never-ending test preparation, sacrifi cing opportunities to delve into critical thinking, creativity, and genuine understanding of the material. Malden educators and parents know that education should be about opening doors to opportunity, not slamming them shut. And that’s exactly why we’re raising concerns about the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) graduation requirement. The current system has denied high school diplomas to thousands of students, disproportionately impacting students with disabilities, English language learners, low-income students and students of color. Students without high school diplomas are at a severe disadvantage when pursuing career training, jobs and higher education. The Commonwealth remains one of only nine states still enforcing the high-stakes testing graduation requirements, despite widespread recognition of its ineff ectiveness and inequity. That’s why families and educators are spearheading the charge for change. In public hearings in front of the Malden School Committee, educators raised concerns that the MCAS graduation requirement reduces students to mere test scores, overshadowing their unique talents and potential. Additionally, educators of English learners like myself know that academic English takes 5-7 years to master. The Thrive Act would instead require students to demonstrate they have met the state’s high standards through all of their coursework and exams. It is not a departure from accountability but a shift towards a more comprehensive evaluation of student achievement. By replacing the MCAS graduation requirement with a more accurate statewide measure grounded in our high-quality curriculum, we aim to create a common educational environment in which every student can demonstrate mastery and reach their full potential. The detrimental eff ects of this testing regime extend beyond our students to the very fabric of our education system. The Thrive Act seeks to rectify this by putting students, communities, and real learning at the forefront. Students are multi-dimensional individuals with diverse talents and strengths that a single, EDUCATION | SEE PAGE 8

The Debt Collection Fairness Act would protect thousands of families across the state, including many in communities of color, by reducing the interest rate from 12% to 3% on judgments on consumer debt, which is often old debt that has been bought by debt collection companies for pennies on the dollar. It would also protect at least $975 in wages per week from a person subject to wage garnishment because of a debt and ensure that no one in the Commonwealth is imprisoned for failure to pay a consumer debt. Currently only $750 per week in wages is protected from garnishment. The bill would also reduce, from 6 years to 5 years, the time in which a company can bring suit to collect a consumer debt. “Exploitative debt collection Jason Lewis State Senator Death Café at the Malden Public Library ave you ever wanted to talk about death but didn’t know where to start?

In 1887, he was admitted to the Boston Bar and became an attorney-at-law. His wife Anna’s interest in legal matters increased even more because she was taking notes for him at the court. Later, when he began to experience hearing problems, Anna’s role as his professional partner became even more important. In March 1889, she was admitted to the Boston University School of Law. She was one of the 12 candidates appointed by the faculty for the position of class orator.

The Malden Public Schools and the city of Malden have publicly recognized the quick-thinking exploits of a Linden STEAM Academy first-grader who ran for help when his teacher had a medical emergency. Maximus Angel was sitting in his firstgrade class when his teacher, Linden educator Jessica Muolo, passed out and fell to the floor. Fortunately for Muolo, who is pregnant, her own “guardian” Angel – Maximus – did not even think twice. The seven-year-old Malden first-grader turned local superhero in an instant. As one of an entire group of young students looking on, he sprang into action. He immediately went for help for the stricken Muolo – but not before he grabbed the nurse’s office pass sitting on her desk! Muolo was able to be revived by school and outside personnel, and all reports are that she and her baby are doing fine. “All I said was come quick and explained to her what was going on but she came quick. I said our teacher fainted,” Maximus told reporters in an online report. The Linden school seven-yearold said his actions were something he learned at home. “My dad helped me because he Text of commendations presented to hero student C The Malden School Committee honored Linden school first-grader Maximus Angel at Monday’s regular meeting.

Muolo explained how she came to pass out in class on that fateful day recently: “There’s a blood vessel that runs the length of your torso and the way I was sitting was having the baby put pressure on that blood vessel causing me to pass out.” “I didn’t know what was going on. I just thought I was having like a nausea wave and then I’m sure it was very scary for my students who were paying attention to the lesson while I was teaching it,” she added.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 5, 2024 Page 13 Mike Vecchione knows championships Accomplished Saugus native owns three titles on three different levels, and he’s not done yet By Joe McConnell M ike Vecchione has known nothing but success throughout his hockey career. The Saugus native first led Malden Catholic to its first Division 1 Super 8 state championship as its captain in 2011, when they defeated St. John’s Prep in overtime at the TD Garden. Six years later, he captained Union College to the NCAA Division 1 title, and last year he won his first pro championship with the AHL’s (American Hockey League) Hershey Bears, the Washington Capitals minor league affiliate. The Bears are now on pace to repeat as Calder Cup champs with Mike still in charge as a team captain on the ice. Will the Stanley Cup be in his future? Quite possibly, but let him tell his story. In 59 games, Vecchione, who plays leftwing, has 15 goals and 16 assists. As a team, Hershey has the best overall record by far to date in the entire league at 47-12-5. The Providence Bruins are second to the Bears in the Atlantic Division – fourth in the entire league – with a 38-197 record. The Coachella Valley (Southern California) Firebirds, out of the Pacific Division, has the second-best record in the league at 40-14-9. The Central Division Milwaukee Admirals ranks third in the league with a 42-20-1 mark. The regular season concludes on April 21. Vecchione expects to win another Calder Cup this year after stints in the Philadelphia Flyers, St. Louis Blues and Colorado Avalanche organizations. He signed on with the Bears several years ago, because of the club’s winning tradition. “One of the things that drove me to sign with the Hershey Bears a few years ago was their will to win every year,” Vecchione said. “There’s never really a rebuild in Hershey. We hold ourselves to a certain standard, and so does the town. It seems like every single season they build a team that can win the Calder Cup, and that’s what you want as a player. “After winning last season, we knew we were going to lose some guys to other teams, as well as the European leagues so the quest to repeat started well before the season,” he added. “Although we lost a handful of key contributors, we were able to replace them with the same caliber of player, and once the season got going, we immediately had chemistry and picked up right where we left off. We tried not to look too far ahead. We stayed pretty level-headed throughout the entire season. We just took it one game at a time, and strived to achieve certain milestones to keep us motivated. We put ourselves in an incredible position to clinch home ice throughout the playoffs, which we didn’t have last season. Our goal right now is to finish the regular season on a high note, playing playoff-style hockey with high intensity to lock-in the top overall seed.” Despite winning a state high school title and a collegiate championship on the highest of levels, Vecchione considers last year’s conquest the hardest of the three. “Winning the Calder Cup was one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through in my career,” the Saugus native said. “When it comes to the Super 8 or the national collegiate championship, it’s a one game, winner-take-all scenario. To put it into perspective, I played more games last year in the Calder Cup playoffs than I did in the Super 8 and NCAA tournament combined. The grind of playing every other night, series after series, with long travel times between sites was very difficult, but the reward in the end was well worth it.” But then came Game 7 of the AHL Finals against the Firebirds, and what led to Vecchione’s most memorable goal ever. “Everyone was so tense. It seemed like we were approaching a second overtime, and then it happened and a wave of adrenaline hit me,” he said. “It’s still hard to describe the feeling of scoring the winning goal in overtime in Game 7 to clinch the Calder Cup. The emotions were so overwhelming, but everyMike Vecchione of Saugus celebrates after scoring a goal for the AHL’s Hershey Bears during a game this year. Vecchione helped lead the Bears to the Calder Cup championship as an assistant captain last year, and he now has his teammates currently on top in the regular season. The playoffs will begin after April 21. (Courtesy photo / Hershey Bears) Mike Vecchione of Saugus has won a state high school hockey championship with Malden Catholic in 2011 and a NCAA Division 1 National Championship title with Union College in 2017, before winning the Calder Cup with the AHL’s Hershey Bears last year.

(Courtesy photo / Hershey Bears) Mike Vecchione of Saugus keeps his head up as he skates up ice for the Hershey Bears during a game this year. (Courtesy photo / Hershey Bears) thing I had gone through in my career helped me get through that moment.” But Mike doesn’t take any of these championships for granted. “It truly is a unique experience, and I’ve been extremely fortunate to have won at each level,” he said. “It really takes a full team to win a championship, and I thank all my teammates over the years for giving it everything they had. I remember being most nervous in the Super 8 game at the TD Garden. It was my last game as a high school hockey player. After three years of coming so close and failing, doubt started to creep in. I felt like there was such a weight on my shoulders being the captain, and not getting it done would be devastating. You just have to bury those doubts and give it everything you have. Playing in that type of situation as a kid prepares you for when the stage gets a little bigger and the lights shine a little brighter. By the time I got to the NCAA Division 1 national championship game, I was well-prepared mentally and physically to go out and play without the weight of a title on the line. You just have to put the distractions aside and focus on the task at hand. “When we got blown out in Games 1 and 2 of last year’s finals, that doubt started to creep in again. But I was given great advice from former Bears legend Chris Bourque. He reached out to me and said: ‘You are never running away with it and you’re never out of it. Take control of the series.’ We did just that to win all three games at home in dramatic fashion. When it got to Game 7 in Coachella, it felt just like another game to me. I remembered being in this situation before as a high school and college player. It was another one game, winner-takeall scenario, and so I was prepared to embrace the moment. You never want to take these moments for granted, because they don’t come around that often, but when you win that moment lasts a lifetime.” But naturally, aside from winning another Calder Cup this year, he’d love to play in the NHL (National Hockey League) someday to have an opportunity to win the Stanley Cup. “My goal has always been to play in the NHL and win a Stanley Cup,” Vecchione said. “It would be quite a remarkable feat to add that to my collection. I’m still hopeful it can be done, even though the door seems to be closing. I can only control what I do on the ice. I can’t control call-ups. The only thing I can do is to continue to play to the best of my ability, and if the time comes, I know I will be ready.” Vecchione, who just turned 31 on Feb. 25, knows he’s one of the oldest players on the Hershey roster. “It really is crazy how fast time flies,” he said. “I’m not quite the oldest on the roster…yet. There are several other players on our team older than me, but I understand I’m 10 years older than our youngest guy, and I’m on the back nine of my career. I’ve been a captain on many teams, and my responsibility as a leader hasn’t changed throughout my career. I’ve always been a leader whose actions speak louder than my words. Whether it’s in a practice or a game, I want to go out and execute at a high level. “When it comes to mentoring, I’m always open to help out younger guys in any way I can. They have scouts, developmental guys and coaches constantly in their ears telling them what they need to do, so it can get stressful for them.

Tornado Travelers Advisor Shauna Campbell noted that the game has been played “as long as I’ve been here.” The club is dedicated to raising money to help students to travel the world, with the last trip being this past February to Costa Rica. The bleachers were packed with students once again, showing how important the game was to the school. “I think it’s entertaining to have teachers play an athletic sport or activity with students,” Campbell said. “Then you have other students wanting to watch the game, and it all comes together to build camaraderie and school spirit!” Unlike last year, this game started off very slowly. The teachers split up their squad into STUDENT-FACULTY GAME: The students, led by senior Ezechiel Noelsaint, broke a four-game win streak by the teachers in the annual Student-Faculty Game.

While stars of the past like Salemwood School phys ed teacher Wiston Jeune and MHS Huynh took it to the rim for a layup and-1, which he converted. Within seconds, the lead was just a single point, 48-47. Although the teachers scored again, they were not slowing down “Zeke the Freak,” who nailed another three-pointer right in the defender’s face to tie the game at 50-50. After a failed faculty possession, he came back down the court and nailed a long two-point shot, holding his fi nish. The students had regained the lead at 52-50.

Near the end of the 20-minute fi rst half, the students started to pick up the pace. They still underperformed off ensively and managed just a 23-9 lead at halftime, giving the younger side a 14-point lead with a half to go. The students, consisting of both boy and girl players, were coached by MHS Varsity Girls Basketball Coach Scott Marino. The faculty found new life with a diff erent approach. MHS Principal Chris Mastrangelo, serving as the staff head coach for the game, sent his best players out to close the gap. Their combined force proved domiphys-ed teacher Jonathan Currier contributed to the comeback, the team’s leading scorer wound up being Salemwood School phys ed teacher Rebecca Krigman with 14 points. “I shot the ball well,” Krigman, a former multi-sport Malden High star and Golden Tornado Hall of Famer said. “We had to rely on our teammates, and everyone played a fair game.” With under two minutes left to play, the teachers had a 4841 advantage. Then, senior and boys’ basketball and baseball captain Ezechiel “Zeke” Noelsaint fl ipped the script. He hit a three-pointer to cut the gap to four, 48-44, and then Yandel cently appointed Malden High Dean of Students Witche Exilhomme used his physicality to draw two fouls in the last minute and made two of the four free throws. This left the score tied at 52-52 with under 10 seconds to go. The students gave it to their hot hand but Noelsaint was triple covered on his buzzer-beater attempt, disrupting his shot and forcing overtime. The overtime period was just a minute long, requiring the players to make a quick play to win the game. With 18 seconds remaining, the students inbounded from the baseline. They eventually found Noelsaint in the paint, who missed two layups but used his top-notch vertical to pull down the rebound each time. On his third attempt, he found the basket to take a 5452 lead with four seconds left on the clock. A last-ditch, longrange shot fell short and the buzzer sounded as the students had held on for the win. With that, the students had fi nally overcome the faculty for the fi rst time since before the pandemic by a score of 54-52.“I don’t like to lose,” Noelsaint said. “That’s it.” His poise in the deciding moments of the game was excellent, as there was no hesitation regarding any of those clutch shots. “The chemistry was there; we played with the girls a lot in practice. That helped us win it in the end,” he continued. Krigman was still optimistic after the loss, noting, “We try to execute, but sometimes we miss a shot. We still tried our best.” Krigman’s 14 points led the teachers, followed by Jeune and math teacher Bradley Gelling with seven each. Jeune also tallied three assists in the loss. Noelsaint led the students’ scoring with 17 points and 12 rebounds. As for next year, the students will have to battle without players like Noelsaint, Savion Silva-Clark and Victoria Gammon while the staff retains their lineup. It will take a younger player to step up for the student side if they wish to repeat this year’s victory.

Fall” – later, after the state legislative changes it became “Fall & Fall.” They had offices in Boston and Malden. Being a mother of five children, Anna C. Fall successfully practiced law together with her husband for nearly 40 years. But she always put her family duties first. “Nursing her children every two hours... was not interrupted by Mrs. Fall’s practice. If, when nursing time arrived, Mrs. Fall was in Court; her sister, the housekeeper or nurse, would bring the baby to the Court House. A recess, during the trial of the case and the facilities of the Women’s restroom made everything easy. And there were a few occasions as Mrs. Fall has often laughingly related, when a recess was not being announced soon enough to satisfy the baby’s demands, she went up to the Bench and told the presiding justice frankly, just why an intermission would be most acceptable. And never once, she said, was her request refused.” In November 1891, Anna C. Fall won her first case before a jury. It was something of a sensation because “one of the ablest and most noted lawyers of Massachusetts being the principal counsel on the opposite side. That case was the first jury case in Massachusetts tried by a woman.” At first, many of her male colleagues could not believe that “a modest-appearing, slightly built brunette with clear-cut features” might be such a brilliant advocate. But very soon she became a familiar figure in the Courts, a well-known trial lawyer who won many difficult cases. “Mrs. Fall often devised and constructed mechanical contrivances, which made clear to judge and jury alike just how a certain accident happened,” the journalist admired. Besides her intensive judicial work, Anna C. Fall also actively participated in Malden’s social life. Thus, in December 1893, Anna C. Fall was elected to the Malden School Committee and served for nine years. Meanwhile, her husband, whom their daughter Emma later called the absent-minded professor, became a prominent political figure. In 1893, George H. Fall was elected a member of the Malden Common Counfair is taking place in Malden on Saturday, April 6, at the Salemwood School Field House (529 Salem St., Malden) in both the cafeteria (first floor) and gymnasium (second floor) from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Over 45 vendors will be participating to meet and incil from Ward Three and was reelected for the two following years, serving for three years. Later he was elected to the state legislature. In 1911–12, he was a mayor of Malden. Anna supported her husband in his political career, whether it was in the city government or the state legislature. George’s political activities deepened her “keen interest in governmental affairs that always played an important part in her life.” Despite numerous duties at work and home, Anna Fall continued her literary work. Her daughter remembered that her father actively supported Anna’s aspirations: “My dear father, who was always so proud of my mother and her accomplishments, went to a great deal of trouble to locate copies of all her girlhood writings and to prepare a scrapbook containing them. All of his five children were delighted with the bulky volume. Mother wrote quite regularly for the ‘Youth’s Companion’ and the ‘Household’. The ‘Youth’s Companion’ was so very popular with young people in my early days.

It was a fringe benefit, so to speak.” Anna’s legal activities were closely intertwined with her literary creations. Her short novel “The Tragedy of a Widow’s Third” (1898) was based on a real case when a husband did not leave a will and his widow got only onethird of the husband’s estate according to the Massachusetts law. At the same time, if a wife died without a will and a child of the union had been born alive, the husband had the use of the whole of his wife’s real estate for life and with no child born alive, a life interest in 50%. Anna C. Fall’s writing talent combined with her professional analysis of her heroine’s misfortune eventually led to real legal changes. Soon after the publication of “The Tragedy of a Widow’s Third,” it was presented to every member of the House and Senate, thus tremendously helping Rep. George H. Fall in his successful fight for the change of the existing bill. As a result, in 1902 the law about inheritance was changed so disparity between widowers and widows was eliminated. Anna C. Fall inspired her husband and helped him in his work on the passage of the bill in 1902 making mothers and fathers equal guardians of their minor children – changing the previous law when the father alone was the guardian. Anna C. Fall also actively participated in the suffrage movement. Among Anna’s friends were famous orator, abolitionist and suffragist Lucy Stone (1818– 1893), her husband, advocate for social and economic reform Henry Blackwell (1825–1909), her daughter, noted suffragist, journalist and human rights advocate Alice Stone Blackwell Heights FOOGI – Friends of Oak Grove, Inc.

Livermore (1820–1905) and Dr. Mary E. Walker (1832–1919), wellknown abolitionist, prohibitionist, surgeon and only woman to receive the Medal of Honor after the American Civil War. Together with Lucy Stone, Anna Christy Fall took a lecture trip devoted to “Equal Rights for Women.” At that time it was so unpopular that members of the audience often threw rotten eggs at the speakers. During the following autumn and winter, she lectured in various parts of the Commonwealth on the “Position of Women under the Massachusetts Law” and similar topics. Later, she read lectures on “Business Law for Women” all over New England. Anna Christy Fall was a charter member of the Malden Women’s Club “Old and New,” which was organized in 1883. She incorporated the Professional Women’s Club in Boston in 1907. Anna’s life greatly influenced her elder daughter Emma’s professional career choice. Emma became a worthy successor to her mother, being known as the first woman judge in Massachusetts (together with Sadie Lipman Shulman). As an active suffragist and fighter for women’s rights, Emma F. Schofield was a cofounder and president of the Boston and Malden Zonta Clubs and Malden Women’s Civic League. Like her mother, she became a lecturer and was very popular. Unfortunately, Anna couldn’t learn about her daughter’s success. She died on January 13, 1930. It was a huge blow to her family and friends. Her grieving husband, children and grandchildren could not imagine that their beloved Nancy would leave them so suddenly.

When I was a rookie, I sat around with the veterans, picked their brains and worked with them after practice to improve little aspects of my game that helped to elevate me. Now it’s come full circle, and I’m happy to pass on some of that wisdom to them.” Stanley Cup still in the cards “I still have another year (with the Capitals organization), but honestly, I’ve had the most fun since turning pro playing right here in Hershey, and I can’t picture playing somewhere else right now. If we win another Calder Cup this year, I would then be looking for a threepeat,” Mike said on his future. “Like I said earlier, Hershey builds teams to win every year. They have already locked in our coaching staff and our leadership group, which really sets the foundation and culture of our team. You lose guys every year to free agency, but when guys sign with the Bears, they are hungry to win. They see the banners, they see all the pictures, they see the videos and hear the stories, and all they want is a taste of it. It’s a good recipe to build a team, and it’s a big reason why I signed here.

When I get home, I usually hit Joe’s Gym, where I get some good work in with my dad. I also like to put on the rollerblades, and work on my craft in the park. That has always been where I found peace. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always gone to the park to master the game I love. I’ve always found that the work you put in away from the rink has the biggest effect, because you only have a certain amount of ice time in the summer, and it’s expensive,” Mike said. “There’s nothing better than getting the boys together and playing hours of street hockey until we had blisters on our hands and feet.

Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 5, 2024 BBB Scam Alert: Home improvement scammers take money, don’t complete work U se caution when hiring a home improvement contractor, especially following a major storm, flood or other weather event when many homeowners are trying to repair their homes. However, contractor scams can happen anytime, so be wary of high-pressure sales tactics, upfront fees and fly-by-night businesses. Con artists will take homeowners’ money and deliver (or not deliver) less than quality work. How the scam works: Home improvement scams can start with a knock on the door, a flyer or an ad. The contractor might offer a low price or a short time frame. One common hook is when the scammer claims to be working in your neighborhood on another project and has leftover supplies. Once started, a rogue contractor may “find” issues that significantly raise the price. If you object, they threaten to walk away and leave a half-finished project. Or they might accept your upfront deposit and never return to do the job. Following a natural disaster, scammers persuade homeowners to sign over their insurance payments. Tips to spot this scam: • Watch out for “red flags.” Say no to cash-only deals, high-pressure sales tactics, high upfront payments, handshake deals without a contract, and on-site inspections. Not all “storm chasers” are con artists, but enough are that you should be cautious any time a home contractor contacts you first…especially after a natural disaster. • Ask for references and check them out. Bad contractors will be reluctant to share this information, and scammers won’t wait for you to do your homework. If you can, get references from past customers – both older references to check on the quality of the work and newer references to ensure current employees are up to the task. Check them out atthe Better Business Bureau (BBB.org) to see what other customers have experienced. And always get a written contract with the price, materials and timeline. The more detail, the better. • Know the law. Work with local businesses that have proper identification, licensing and insurance. Confirm that your vendor will get related permits, and make sure you know who is responsible for what according to your local laws and that your vendor is ready to comply.

If you are a Massachusetts Y ou are entitled to claim a tax credit on your 2023 Massachusetts individual income tax return if you are taking care of a dependent child, other dependent or spouse with a disability or another dependent who is age 65 or older. You can claim this tax credit if you are filing single, head of household or married filing joint on your tax return. Your dependent child must be under age 13 as of December 31, 2023. With respect to a dependent age 65 or older as of December 31, 2023, that would not include you or your spouse. The tax credit to claim on your Massachusetts return is $310 for each qualifying individual. There is no limit to the number of qualified individuals that you can claim the tax credit for. For calendar year 2024, the tax credit will increase to $440 per qualifynon-resident filing a non-resident Massachusetts income tax return, you cannot claim this tax credit. Part year residents can claim the credit and must calculate the tax credit he or she is qualified for based upon the days living in Massachusetts. A dependent or spouse with a disability is an individual who is physically or mentally incapable of caring for himself or herself and who principally lives with the taxpayer for more than half of the taxable year. This is also a refundable tax credit so even if you your total tax is zero and you had no withholdings from wages or pension income, for example, you would still be able to receive a refund based upon the tax credit as calculated on your Massachusetts income tax return. This is the first year that Massachusetts has provided for such a tax credit. It is a big help to taxpayers caring for children, parents or disabled individuals. This is in addition to the virtual doubling of the circuit breaker tax credit available to taxpayers age 65 or older. Joseph D.

Page 20 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, April 5, 2024 avvya yavvy eniiooravvy S iorn or v y io iori by Jim Miller Recommended Vaccines for Medicare Recipients Dear Savvy Senior, My husband and I recently turned 65 and would like to fi nd out which vaccines are recommended and covered by Medicare? New Benefi ciaries Dear New, All recommended vaccines for adults, age 65 and older, should be covered by either Medicare Part B or Part D, but there are some coverage challenges you should be aware of. Here’s a rundown of which vaccines are recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and how Medicare covers them. Covid-19: Even though Covid-19 is no longer a public health emergency, it can still cause severe illness, particularly in older adults. Because the Covid virus continues to mutate, new vaccines are being developed to keep pace, so the CDC recommends that all seniors stay up to date with the latest Covid vaccines, including booster shots. All Covid-19 shots are covered 100 percent by Medicare Part B. Flu: Considered an annual vaccination, most people of all ages receive fl u shots in the fall when fl u season begins. The CDC recommends seniors, 65 and older get a high-dose fl u shot for extra protection beyond what a standard fl u shot off ers. The Fluzone High Dose Quadrivalent, FLUAD Quadrivalent and FluBlok Quadrivalent are your three options. Annual fl u shots are covered under Medicare Part B. Pneumonia: These vaccines help protect against pneumococcal disease, which can cause pneumonia, meningitis and other infections. The CDC recommends everyone 65 and older get a pneumococcal vaccine. There are several diff erent vaccine options available, so talk to your doctor or pharmacists to fi nd out which is best for you or visit the CDC’s Pneumococcal Vaccination webpage at CDC.gov/vaccines/vpd/pneumo/public/index.html. Medicare Part B covers both single dose and two-dose pneumococcal shots once in your lifetime. Shingles: Caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox, shingles is a painful, blistering skin rash that aff ects more than 1 million Americans every year. All people over age 50 are recommended to get the two-dose Shingrix vaccine, which is given two to six months apart, even if you previously received Zostavax. In 2020, Shingrix replaced Zostavax, which is no longer available in the U.S. All Medicare Part D prescription drug plans cover shingles vaccinations, but coverage amounts, and reimbursement rules vary depending on where the shot is given. Check your plan. Tdap: Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough) are diseases caused by bacteria that can lead to serious illness and death. Therefore, a one-time dose of the Tdap vaccine is recommended to all adults. If you’ve already had a Tdap shot, you should get a tetanus-diphtheria (Td) booster shot every 10 years. All Medicare Part D plans cover these vaccinations. RSV: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can lead to pneumonia or bronchiolitis and can worsen other chronic conditions common among older adults, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The CDC recommends all adults, age 60 and older, talk to their doctor about getting one of the RSV vaccines (either Arexvy or Abrysvo), usually in the fall and winter months when the virus is most prevalent. Most Medicare Part D plans cover the RSV vaccine, but not all. If your plan doesn’t cover it, you can ask for a coverage exception. You can also pay for the shot out of pocket and then follow-up with your plan to get reimbursed. If you pay for the shot upfront, your plan must pay you back. Other Vaccinations There are other vaccines you may need depending on your health, lifestyle or travel plans. To help you get a handle on which ones are appropriate for you, take the CDC’s What Vaccines Do You Need? quiz at www2.cdc.gov/nip/adultimmsched. Also, talk to your doctor during your next visit about what vaccinations you should get. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.
