The number and timing of doses depends on the type of vaccine used and the person receiving the vaccine.

CDC recommends 1 dose of Tdap for healthcare personnel who have never received Tdap and who have direct patient contact. After receipt of Tdap, patients should continue to receive Td or Tdap for routine booster immunization every 10 years. There are no data on the stability of vaccines stored in syringes filled by healthcare professionals. Therefore, CDC does not recommend predrawing vaccine doses. There are no contraindications to the co-administration of diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccines.
However, administer each vaccine using a separate syringe and, if possible, at a different anatomic site. There is a small increased risk of febrile seizures in children 6 through 23 months of age when giving trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine IIV3 with DTaP according to a Vaccine Safety Datalink study external icon.

When is TT given to an adult with the injury? If he then develops any injury or requires any surgery there is no need to take anymore TT as he is protected in between the doses.
If such an adult has taken the last TT beyond years in the past, he can be given one dose of TT, which acts as a booster. What if the child gets injured, should he receive TT? Such a child is now protected until 10 years of age. In between such doses, there is no need to give TT for injury. What harm is done if one gives TT frequently? If TT is given frequently, it will hyper-immunize the patient. Such a patient can develop Arthus like phenomenon with the development of fever, rash, joint pain, joint swelling, etc.
