Hello,
First let me tell you that there is no need to worry because:
1. It was only a scratch and not a bite
2. As your dog is already vaccinated it will need a vaccination only after one year.
3. You are unlikely to have rabies as your dog is already vaccinated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
