Public health authorities said that 17,139 adverse reactions had been reported among those who received the vaccines by Wednesday morning.
Meanwhile, a total of 743,048 doses have been wasted in the rollout, according to the Polish health ministry.
As of Wednesday, Poland, a country of around 38 million, had injected around 21.9 million first doses of COVID-19 vaccines, while more than 21.3 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 month 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 Wednesday reported 16,173 new coronavirus infections and 684 more deaths related to COVID-19, bringing the country's total number of cases during the pandemic to 4,248,559 and fatalities to 100,938.
The country last month launched a COVID-19 vaccination drive for children between the ages of five and 11.
At the start of November, third doses of the COVID-19 vaccine were made available to all adults across the nation.
The booster shot is administered at least five months after full vaccination, using Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna mRNA vaccines.
By Wednesday, more than 7.8 million booster shots had been administered, government data showed.
In a new effort to boost vaccination rates, the government this week began sending out text messages to those vaccinated with booster shots to thank them for getting the jab and ask them to encourage others around them to do the same.
