I agree about waiting - the meds aren't going to do any good if he vomits it back up again.  However, some medications it's not good to miss a dose, so you may want to call your pharmacist and just get their opinion - they should also be able to tell you what you might be able to give him to settle his stomach that won't interfere with his other meds.

If it were my child, I would wait.  Most stomach viruses last 24-72 hours.  Let his stomach rest.   He needs to get to the point where he is eating again and food is staying down.
