There is no need for vaccination.
Since you have already had the course of vaccination twice in the last six months it is better you should get Anti-rabies antibodies level done . That will determine your level of immunity against Rabies.

See even though it is a scratch if it is bleeds it means contact with mucus membrane is considered. It means it is category 3 bite . less than 3 month of immunization just wound treatment is required. If it would have been more than 3month then booster doses on day 0 and 3 is required (which is not in your case)

Nail scratch and no wound so nothing to worry about it
As such you are immunised against rabies recently so-at present no need for vaccination again
