If you complete the Tetanus vaccination schedule then you need not take a dose every time you get an injury. Moreover you need to correct your notion about need of Tetanus toxoid only when there is a metallic injury. Any breach of skin or mucus membrane continuity with possible external contamination may infect with Tetanus bacilli.
As you have taken a dose 2 months ago take one more dose now and then one more dose after 1 year from today. Then you may take boosters every 5 years without any need to vaccinate intermittently.
