Hello lybrate-user,
the way you are describing the wound is not clear,

Previously you got vaccinated 4 months ago, now if there is a scratch by an animal you will have to take anti rabies vaccine again. It is called as re-exposure prophylaxis.

No. You should take only tt injection by consulting your doctor and take proper care about scratch injury. It may not be necessary to get booster vaccination, if you have already taken full course of 5 injections.
