I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
By taking two doses of tetanus toxoid at a gap of one month you are on the right track. Get your third dose after 6 months and then you are immunized for 5 years.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

If you have previously taken full dose of tetanus vaccine schedule 3/4 doses depending on type and site. And last dose is booster dose then small clean cut doesn't need a booster.
But nevertheless if you have any doubt or want abooster anyway, go for booster as after 4 weeks another booster won't do too much harm. Only minor fever and myalgia.
