Is It Safe To Take Second Dose Of Hep B Vaccine If I Had Reaction To First Dose?

I had the 1st of the hep b vaccine series 7 years ago. I reacted really badly to it (dizziness, fever, vomiting, rash, swelling etc) and was told not to continue with the other 2. Now I need the vaccine in order to be allowed to do my job. Is it safe to try again?
