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.

The Nigerian government says it is re-opening four border crossings with Benin and Niger more than a year after they were shut in an effort to stop smuggling of agricultural produce and weapons. Other border points will re-open at the end of December. Last month after some initial reluctance Nigeria ratified its membership of the African free-trade zone. When it officially launches in January it will become the second largest free trade area in the world. It aims to significantly increase the value of intra-African trade.

Gospel musician and former Tusker Project Fame winner Ms Ruth Matete will this week seek the court’s permission to have the body of her husband released for burial.
The body has been lying at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) mortuary for over three weeks following a request by the Nigerian High Commission to have it detained until the Nigerian government approves its release.
Through her lawyer, Robert Odanga, Ms Matete now says the continued detention of Mr John Apewajoye’s body at the mortuary is increasing the medical bills she has been struggling to clear.
Ms Matete further notes there has been no official complainant in the case being investigated by DCI’s homicide detectives, and that the Nigerian Embassy did not give sufficient reasons to warrant holding the body, especially now that the post-mortem has been conducted and the results made public.
The artiste intends to have the court compel the Nigerian embassy to cater for her husband’s morgue fees for the days the body has been held at the facility.

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.”
