Why does it take multiple tries to be immune to venom, but just one for a virus?

Whenever you want to be immune to a virus, you get a vaccine or you become infected and your immune system fights it off and you become immune. The body can also build up an immunity to venom, but it takes several attempts in order to become capable of taking what would be a lethal dose. Why can't the body produce antibodies to venom on demand like they do for a virus?
