Hi... Any animal contact (even a lick, you say its a scratch) should be vaccinated and that too all the more when the vaccination status of the animal is unknown. Moreover this happen to be an unprovoked bite. So if I were your treating pediatrician, I would suggest that you take the full course of anti-rabies vaccines.
