You can use MONTH() and DAY() functions

WHERE MONTH(dob) = MONTH(DATE()) AND DAY(dob) = DAY(DATE())
or
WHERE DATE( YEAR(DATE()), MONTH(dob), DAY(dob)) = DATE()   
or
WHERE dob = DATE( YEAR(dob), MONTH(DATE()), DAY(DATE()))

I would go with the last one because it could be Rushmore optimazable if you've index on dob
