Only one copy of each document (except pics) is required, but you are advised by them to obtain them in duplicate “just in case”.

Estimated waiting time at the consulate on the day of interview? |
They seem to take things easy. On the day of my interview, I had my appointment at 10, and when I got in some time before that I found the other people I had met at the medical the previous day, who had been waiting since 8 in some cases! I was the last, and by 12 I was out of there. Then all of us met again at 4 to be given our visas and sealed envelopes - in the Consulate courtyard of all places! |

Vaccination requirements? |
Depends from the list that is in Packet 3 |
