Hello.
Dog and people are good friends, and it is well-known that dogs hepl children to develop as more loving and more carrying persons.
Since your boy is vaccinated properly, and dog is pet, not from the unknown host, you should not be worried. And also, you said it is just a scratch.
No need to go to doctor.
All the best
