We do yearly vaccination for rabies just to protect our pets from unexpected exposure like these. If he is already vaccinated properly with his yearly vaccination, then that itself will protect him from infection. Now that you have a full course of post bite shots too, the chances of infection are almost nil.

If your pet is vaccinated regularly and after exposure, full regime was followed, your pet is likely to have a good immunity status against rabies. If by scratched you mean hit by paws then there is no danger at all.
