No problem: If anything, your system will benefit from the booster effect of the components of the vaccine. These vaccines are benign.Unless you develop a specific sensitivity to a component (tetanus toxoid for some) doing them this often has no negative effects, .

Nothing to worry: It is very unlikely for you to develop any serious reaction. By the way, short duration of protection against pertussis (whooping cough) provided by tdap was brought to attention. Consequently, extra dose of tdap can be good for you.

TDAP: There should be no problem with getting extra unnecessary vaccinations. Perhaps this will remind you to keep track of your vital health data or to get these types of medical procedures only at your family doctor's office so that this data is kept up to date.
