Either can be given to a 3 year old. The anti tetanus serum should be given if there is reason to believe the child has not been immunized against tetanus before and has been exposed.
If the child has been immunized, and there is reason to believe that they have been infected, the toxoid should be administered.

What is the difference of tetanus toxoid to anti-tetanus serum?
The best answer I have found relating to the "difference" between toxoid and anti serum or anti toxin revolves more around the reason for application. While both may give the same result, the reason for application of each is quite different. Toxoids are given with a view to preventing or avoiding infection. Anti-toxins and Anti-serums are given in medical emergency when it might otherwise be too late to save a life. So, Toxoid to avoid or Anti-toxin in need of quick fixin! Harvey
Indication of anti-tetanus serum?

Why anti tetanus serum and tetanus toxoid given simultaneously to patient with dirty wounds?
You give the antitetanus serum because it contains passive antibodies that can immediately start attacking any antigens if present. While that is going on, the body reacts to the toxoids injected into it by producing its own antibodies, this process is slow thus we need the antitetanus serum for immediate protection.

What is the main action of anti tetanus serum?
It binds to the tetanus toxin in your blood, blocking the toxin's action on the body's systems. If you have completed your tetanus vaccine schedule, anti-tetanus serum is not required as your blood already contains the apparatus to produce this itself.
