If you have completed the full course of rabies vaccination, it is unlikely that you will need to take the vaccination again. However, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider or a local animal control agency in your area for specific advice on your situation. They will be able to evaluate the risk of rabies transmission from the scratch and provide appropriate guidance on whether or not additional vaccination or treatment is necessary. It is also important to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water and seek medical attention if you experience any signs of infection or other complications. Consult me on Lybrate for proper diagnosis.
