Yes, the vaccination will work. It is better to get vaccination without further delay. Since the vaccination history of the cat is not fully known. Prevention is better option.

Yes you should definitely get your son vaccinated and I hope you cleaned the area thoroughly with soap and water. If not, ensure proper vaccination and for the scratch apply antiseptic lotion after cleaning
