A November 26 letter from the presidency asked the head of Uganda's national drug authority to 'work out a mechanism' to clear the importation of the vaccines.
China has about five COVID-19 vaccine candidates at different levels of trials. It was not clear what vaccine was being imported into Uganda.
One of the frontrunners is the Sinopharm vaccine developed by the Beijing Institute of Biological Product, a unit of Sinopharm’s China National Biotec Group (CNBG).
On Wednesday, the United Arab Emirates said the vaccine has 86% efficacy, citing an interim analysis of late-stage clinical trials.
China has used the drug to vaccinate up to a million people under its emergency use program.
On Tuesday, Morocco said it was ordering up to 10 million doses of the vaccine.
Record cases
Uganda on Monday registered 701 new COVID-19 cases, the highest-ever daily increase, bringing its national count to 23,200.
The new cases were out of the 5,578 samples tested for the novel coronavirus over the past 24 hours, the country's health ministry said in a statement.
Tuesday's tally was 606, the second-highest ever number of new infections, bringing the cumulative number of confirmed cases in the east African country to 23,860.
Health authorities have blamed ongoing election campaigns which have drawn huge crowds for the rise in infections.

Her dissertation and future book titled, “Igbo Collective Memory of the Nigeria – Biafra War (1967-1970): Reclaiming Forgotten Women’s Voices and Building Peace through a Gendered Lens,” is a reflection of the Igbo women who, like herself, survived the war.

TT has signed a bilateral air service agreement with Curacao.
Speaking on Friday at the signing ceremony, Minister of Works and Transport Rohan Sinanan said the signing signifies the culmination of an almost decade-long negotiation.
The ministry said in a press release that the signing “heralds a new era of connectivity, enabling seamless travel opportunities.”
It said the agreement will “create avenues for Caribbean Airlines and Curacao's designated airlines to enhance their air services and facilitate more extensive commercial route development between the regions.”
The ministry said the agreement will also foster economic growth, bolster tourism opportunities and enhance trade relations between the two countries.
Curacao’s Minister of Traffic Transportation and Urban Planning, Charles Cooper, said, “The new treaty, which falls under the open skies category, aims to regulate aviation connections between Curacao and TT, providing the greatest operational and commercial freedom.”
He said the lack of intra-regional flights between many Caribbean nations, inclusive of Curacao and TT, is evidence of the need for more air service agreements of this nature.
Sinanan added, “This agreement allows us to look forward to a future of strengthened ties, increased connectivity and mutual prosperity.”
He said this agreement was the first of many planned agreements with other countries.
“We have the agreement with Qatar to be signed by February, then we go on to sign Ghana soon after that. There are also agreements in the pipeline that we will roll out next year.”
