Public health authorities said that 16,982 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 21.5 million first doses of COVID-19 vaccines, while more than 20.9 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 last week 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 9,843 new coronavirus infections and 549 more deaths related to COVID-19, bringing the country's total number of cases during the pandemic to 4,064,715 and fatalities to 94,914.
The country this month 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 6,200,770 booster shots had been administered, government data showed.
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.
Roughly one in three Poles is in favour of a plan to introduce compulsory vaccination against COVID-19 for all groups of the population, a new survey has found.
Meanwhile, 46.7 percent of those polled opposed such a step, the Rzeczpospolita newspaper reported.
