Brief Answer:
No you need not take any further vaccines

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in Healthcaremagic.com.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.

I understand your concern.
If you have completed the last dose of your vaccine, you need not take any further dosage. Dont worry.
Scratching of wound is not an indication for taking rabies vaccine again once you have finished it. You need not take it again.
Relax.

Hope I have answered your question.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards.
