Poisoned?: Not sure what you mean by poisoned. Allergic reactions can happen from any vaccines. Otherwise, hep b vaccines, along with other vaccines, are quite safe.

Standard practice: I know of no hepatitis vaccine that provides long term protection in a single dose. All are given as a series of at least 2 doses.
