The ideal schedule for three doses of Tetvac is
First dose ---- gap of 6 weeks ----- Second dose ------ gap of 6 months ---- Third dose.
You are not much off the mark.
So you are safe for five years. .

Once three doses of TT have been given, protection is for 5 years.There is no need of booster for minor cuts and scratches.Just clean the wound thoroughly and apply a local antibiotic if you have any.Tetanus booster needed only for large contaminated wounds as an additional precaution.
