He added that the national inoculation campaign required the government and the opposition to work together "across political divisions."
"I have always been open to dialogue with anyone who cares about the good of the country," Morawiecki said in a Facebook post.
He added that “solidarity and unity are our best weapons in the war” against the coronavirus.

Morawiecki took to social media after holding talks with parliamentarians from across the political spectrum on Tuesday to discuss ways of ramping up the country’s COVID-19 vaccination campaign
His top aide, Michał Dworczyk, who is in charge of Poland’s inoculation drive, told reporters that politicians of all stripes taking part in the mostly-online meeting agreed that the key goal was to "vaccinate the largest possible part of the Polish population as soon as possible.”

Dworczyk has previously appealed to the opposition “not to scare the Polish people” by claiming that the inoculation effort was poorly planned and likely to end in failure.
He argued that vaccinations should be kept "out of day-to-day politics."
Healthcare workers are the top priority group for inoculation in Poland, followed by nursing home residents, the elderly, people with chronic health conditions, teachers, police, and soldiers.
The country on Monday began administering COVID-19 vaccines to citizens over 70.
By Tuesday, a total of 776,987 people had been vaccinated against the coronavirus across the nation, according to officials.
Poland on Tuesday reported 4,604 new coronavirus infections and 264 more deaths, bringing its total number of cases to 1,482,722 and fatalities to 35,665.
