Public health authorities said that 16,677 adverse reactions had been reported among those who received the vaccines by Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, a total of 679,334 doses have been wasted in the rollout, according to the Polish health ministry.
As of Tuesday, Poland, a country of around 38 million, had injected over 21.4 million first doses of COVID-19 vaccines, while more than 20.86 million people had been fully inoculated, health ministry data showed.
The tally includes two-dose vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and AstraZeneca as well as Johnson & Johnson's one-shot vaccine.
The European Commission on Monday granted conditional marketing approval to the Nuvaxovid COVID‑19 vaccine developed by Novavax, the fifth COVID-19 vaccine authorised for use in adults across the European Union.
Poland on Tuesday reported 13,806 new coronavirus infections and 538 more deaths related to COVID-19, bringing the country's total number of cases during the pandemic to 3,982,257 and fatalities to 92,052.
The country last week launched a COVID-19 vaccination drive for children between the ages of five and 11.
At the start of last month, third doses of the COVID-19 vaccine were made available to all adults across the nation.
The booster shot is administered at least six months after full vaccination, using Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna mRNA vaccines.
For people aged over 50, the minimum recommended interval is five months, under rules recently announced by public health authorities.
By Tuesday, a total of 5,795,621 booster shots had been administered, government data showed.
President Andrzej Duda and First Lady Agata Kornhauser-Duda encouraged Poles to get vaccinated against COVID-19 after receiving their booster shots for added protection last week.
Health Minister Adam Niedzielski this month announced that Poland would introduce compulsory COVID-19 vaccinations for healthcare workers, teachers and law enforcement personnel from March 1.
More than 43 percent of Poles are in favor of a plan to introduce compulsory vaccination against COVID-19 in their country, a recent survey has found.
Meanwhile, around 41 percent of those polled opposed such a step, and 15.7 percent were undecided.
