Since you are vaccinated and received 2 doses of vaccine upon getting exposure to dog bite,you should check your antibody titre.

Usually if you have proper vaccination with Rabies immunization protocols, you need not to be worried as once full immunization done it will protect you for 2 years, and there after you need booster Dose.

You will have to get "Rabies antibodies titre" test done to find if the vaccination you have taken earlier is still effective or not.
Another thing is that there is nothing known as slow or fast progress of Rabies. If a person gets Rabies then there is no known cure for it.
The initial load of virus that he gets will determine whether he will get Rabies or not.
