If the child hadn't had any of his/her MMR series, a doctor would absolutely want to get the child started on the series if possible, regardless of the age.

Few countries routinely administer the TB vaccine. It's too low efficacy.

In the US, and in most western countries, a series tetanus vaccines is absolutely given as part of the TDaP/DTaP childhood combo series, and then boosters are administered later as needed. In the US, it's a series of 5.
And indeed, it appears as it's given routinely to children in the UK, as well:
