A new vulnerability scan is important after applying patches as it provides verification that the patches have been applied correctly and that no new vulnerabilities have been introduced during the update process. It also helps in ensuring that the fixed vulnerabilities no longer exist. Without rescanning, there might be a false sense of security as assumptions are made about the efficacy of the patches.
