0.25ml of the influenza vaccine should be administered to Tom.
Two doses of influenza vaccines are usually given to each individual within an interval of two weeks. The first dose is meant to prime the immune system while the second dose is for protection. For children that are over six months and above but less than three years old 0.25 ml is recommended.

I believe the answer is: Inject 0.5 mL; one dose only

The effect of IIV would be depended on the amount of body weight that the receiver has, as the body weight increase, the dosage needed would also be increased. While adults typically able to take 2 dosage, one dose of 0.5 ML injection typically enough for a 9-year old boy.
