If you want a full course of Tetvac then it is late. You are supposed to have first dose at the time of injury. Second dose at 6 weeks after the first dose and third dose 6 months after the first dose. If you take your Tetvac now, it is almost 6 months after the first dose. So it doesn't fit into any schedule.
