Yes, your rabies vaccination will still work properly.
A 1-day delay in the 4th and 5th doses (day 8 instead of 7, day 29 instead of 28) is not a problem and is still considered
Since your last dose was on 9th May 2025 and you were scratched today, you do not need to restart the full course.

Usually a delay of 1 or 2 days is acceptable in taking post exposure rabies vaccine. Its effectiveness remains the same so you don’t need to worry.
Today’s Dog scratch had happened during your current course of treatment, so you are already protected.
Next Steps
Just keep your wound clean wash with clean water
