US consulate asks for vaccination proof only for immigrant (green card) visa... And asking non immigrant visas like if you are going as a student to the US, then your vaccination record is required by the university where you are going such you usually submit to the university before going to visa. And yes proof of MMR is required if you are asked to submit your vaccination record.. Hepatitis B is optional
