My cat stays indoor and plays outside less often. He was vaccinated against rabies and stays in a healthy diet. I was accidentally scratched by my cat when it leaped on me. Should I worry from contacting rabies infection?

 
This is highly unlikely. Does your cat appear to have rabies?  If your can is vaccinated, then it doesn’t, especially since it is an indoor cat. There is no way. 
ive been scratched, bit, massively attacked and anything else you can imagine from indoor cats, outdoor cats and even strange wild cats more times than I can count. Often on a daily basis. other than a few infections, no rabies, so pretty sure you’re safe.

 
Also, to add to what @jtab said, its extremely unlikely to get even rabies from a scratch, it needs to be saliva from a bite.  The virus is not present in blood or urine or feces.
