65yrs +	Td	Td	Consider TIG for tetanus prone wound plus Td(tetanus immune globulin)

Caveats

Adolescents who have already gotten a booster dose of Td are encouraged to get a dose of Tdap as well. Waiting 5 years after their last Td is encouraged but not required. A period of at least 2 years between Td and Tdap is recommended in these cases.
Pregnancy is not a contraindication to Tdap. The only true contraindication to tetanus immunization is a history of neurologic or severe hypersensitivity to a previous dose.
Stable neurologic disorders and family history of vaccine reactions are not contraindications to receiving these vaccines.
No vaccine has ever been shown to play any role in the development of autism or autism spectrum disorders.
