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.

Why anti tetanus serum is first injected to tetanus toxoid?
Anti-tetanus serum is injected first to provide immediate passive immunity against tetanus toxins in case of a recent injury or exposure, as it contains pre-formed antibodies. Tetanus toxoid, on the other hand, is used to stimulate the body’s immune system to produce its own antibodies for long-term protection. Administering the serum first ensures that the patient has immediate protection while the active immune response from the toxoid develops over time. This combination approach maximizes both immediate and sustained immunity.
What is the drug of choice if patient is anti tetanus serum positive?

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
How long is the effect anti tetanus serum after injection n?
The effect of anti-tetanus serum (ATS) typically lasts for about 2 to 3 weeks. It provides passive immunity by supplying pre-formed antibodies against the tetanus toxin, which helps to neutralize the toxin in case of exposure. However, for long-term protection, vaccination with tetanus toxoid is recommended, as it stimulates the body to produce its own antibodies.
Indication of anti-tetanus serum?
prophylaxis and treatment of tetanus
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.
