They do it now in the US. Took my son to check on infection in a cut (fell outside). They wanted to give him the Tetanus (they call it that) "in case he fell on something with metal." We said no. Then I saw the chart which said DTaP which is 3 in 1! They've been doing this for years and years.
We can't even get single doses of the components of the DTaP in the US. The CDC claims it is to keep costs low for consumers. I think it is because it would be too easy to isolate which vaccine caused you injury if you were taking them one at a time.
The DTaP shot is a joke. This shot is on the childhood schedule 6 times by the time the child enters 7th grade. The tetanus component supposedly lasts at least 10 years, but our kids get several extra doses of it because the pertussis component is complete garbage. Is it a good idea for our kids to take several extra doses of vaccines? Who knows? The CDC will never study it. They never ask a question they may not like the answer to.
Why do we give the Tetanus shot to kids at all? they give a Tetanus shot whenever a person has an injury so why don't we just wait until someone is injured to give the Tetanus shot?
Studies have actually shown for a while now that if vaccinated as a child, boosters end up being completely unnecessary and remains effective essentially indefinitely.
Two decades ago it was ten years, then it was "longer", now it's "maybe never".
But naturally at this point who can trust anything, who knows if tetanus wasn't already overblown to begin with.

The tetanus shot was developed as a sterilization tool.
