If you are scratched and bleeding by a cat that has been vaccinated against rabies, you should also be vaccinated against rabies. This is because rabies vaccination can only ensure that the cat will not be infected with the virus, but it does not guarantee that the person who is scratched and bitten will not be infected with the virus. The injured should first perform emergency treatment on the wound, wash it with soapy water at home, apply iodophor or anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent local skin infection, and then go to a regular hospital to receive rabies vaccine within 24 hours.
