It’s likely that you do not need to restart the full rabies vaccine series since you completed your previous dose recently (11th Sept) and the new scratch was superficial with minimal bleeding. Immediate wound cleaning as you did is appropriate. But a booster dose might be required.
However, you should contact the physician who administered your earlier vaccinations for personalized advice, as they may recommend a booster (1-2 dose) depending on timing, vaccination status and risk assessment.
