If the dog is vaccinated as per schedule, then no need to get any post exposure prophylaxis to your son.
Do not worry.
However, It would have helped more of you had described more about the wound and if there was any deep bite and age of your son etc.. that would help in prescribing antibiotics and Tetanus injection.
