If it has been 10 years since the exposure to rabies, there is no need to worry. It would have occurred within weeks to months after your exposure. Since nothing has happened for 10 years, you are completely free of risk from that exposure. You probably also got pretty good protection from even just the 2 shots. Hope this helps.
