you can use "notification_interval 0" in your service template, like it 
is described in the fine manuals:

<snip>

notification_interval:	This directive is used to define the number of 
"time units" to wait before re-notifying a contact that this service is 
still in a non-OK state. Unless you've changed the interval_length 
directive from the default value of 60, this number will mean minutes. 
If you set this value to 0, Nagios will not re-notify contacts about 
problems for this service - only one problem notification will be sent out.
