No she won't need rabies vaccination again since she was given once when that thing happened, if she gets bitten by any stray animal once again she may need the rabies vaccine again... We also understand one thing, rabies gets mainly through bite of rabid infected animal and not through scratches... Thank you.

Usually, anti rabies vaccinations are valid for one year. You can reconfirm it with her pediatrician too.
