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.
Why is aN ANTI tetanus vaccination given?
Antisera is given to patients because it contains specific antibodies to the tetanus toxin. By binding, antibody to toxin, the toxin is neutralized. Otherwise, the toxin will cause tetanic musscle contractions seen in patients. This antisera causes a much faster response than the toxoid that is used as a vaccination. In this senario, a innactive form of the tetanus toxin (which is a toxoid) is introduced to healthy individuals. This toxoid causes the body (specifically B-cells) to produce antibodies and most importantly memory cells. Individuals who have circulating levels of antibody are considered immune to tetanus because the body will combat the pathogen before it has a chance to produce toxins.
Does tetanus toxoid dangerous if given in double dose especially in pregnant women?
According to the CDC's Vaccine Information Statement, it is best to be vaccinated as soon as possible after giving birth if you have never received the vaccine. If there is a need for the tetanus vaccine during pregnancy, it is recommended that the "Td" version (Tetanus - diptheria) be given and not the "Tdap" (tetanus-diptheria-pertussis).

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
