Michał Dworczyk, head of the Prime Minister's Office, announced that 177,863 people across the country have received shots so far.
He told reporters that the inoculation process would accelerate.
"The most vaccinations have so far been carried out by Germany, then Italy, and Poland is in third place. Of course, we are satisfied with this, but it is no reason for triumphalism, God forbid," Dworczyk added.
Poland on Thursday reported 12,054 new coronavirus infections and 186 more deaths, bringing its total number of cases to 1,356,882 and fatalities to 30,241.
A 52-year-old Warsaw hospital nurse on December 27 became the first Pole to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
The first batch of 10,000 vaccine doses arrived in the country a day earlier.
In the first quarter of this year, a total of 2.94 million people are expected to be vaccinated for COVID-19 throughout the country.
Frontline healthcare workers are first in line for jabs, followed by pensioners in nursing homes, people over 60, police, soldiers and teachers.
Citizens who are not in priority groups will be able to sign up for COVID-19 shots from January 15, with the first pensioners and teachers expected to be vaccinated 10 days later.
Poland plans to spend PLN 3 billion (EUR 675m, USD 820m) on over 60 million doses of coronavirus vaccines under a national inoculation programme adopted by the government.
