Public health authorities said that 17,090 adverse reactions had been reported among those who received the vaccines by Friday morning.
Meanwhile, a total of 743,048 doses have been wasted in the rollout, according to the Polish health ministry.
As of Friday, Poland, a country of around 38 million, had injected around 21.67 million first doses of COVID-19 vaccines, while more than 21 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 Friday reported 13,601 new coronavirus infections and 638 more deaths related to COVID-19, bringing the country's total number of cases during the pandemic to 4,108,215 and fatalities to 97,054.
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.
For those under 50, 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 Friday, a total of 6,654,445 booster shots had been administered, government data showed.
Health Minister Adam Niedzielski this month said 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 recent survey has found.
Meanwhile, 46.7 percent of those polled opposed such a step, according to a report by the Rzeczpospolita newspaper.
