The prime minister’s chief of staff, Michał Dworczyk, announced that over 100,000 people have been vaccinated in Poland so far.
People aged over 60, residents of nursing homes, teachers, soldiers and police are among those in the second group in line for shots under Poland’s national inoculation drive.
Vaccinations for frontline healthcare workers, the first group to receive shots, started at the end of last month.
A 52-year-old Warsaw hospital nurse on December 27 became the first Pole to be inoculated against the coronavirus.
Poles who are not in priority groups will be able to sign up for COVID-19 shots from January 15.
Dworczyk said on Monday that Poland plans to vaccinate 2.94 million people for COVID-19 in the first quarter of this year.
Poland on Tuesday reported 7,624 new coronavirus infections and 341 more deaths, bringing its total number of cases to 1,330,543 and fatalities to 29,502.
