As a veterinarian opinion, it is unlikely for dog to have rabies in this case. And chances of getting rabies is very minimal.

If you have already taken vaccinations then you are already protected, Also if the dog survived for more than 10 days after the contact then he was not rabied at the time of contact so no need to worry, you have almost no chance of getting rabies

In your case, you got all vaccinations. It will protect you. In addition to that, the dog survived more than 10 days, and it indicates the dog is free from rabies on the day of the incident. So, there is no need to worry
