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.

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.

It's impossible to have an honest discussion about Africa's underdevelopment and poor performance in the global stage without recognising the ignominious role played by religion.
An Africa which though still trapped in a nonremedial cycle of crippling poverty and excruciating underdevelopment, no more kills her twin children or sacrifices her people to the gods.
There is no better time than now to cut loose from the shackles of religion and join the rest of the civilised world in emphasising spirituality.

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has kicked against self-medication of any kind by COVID-19 patients in the country.
The Presidential Task Force (PTF) on the COVID-19 pandemic Thursday warned the public to stay away from quarantined returnees from foreign countries.
Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and Chairman of the PTF, Mr. Boss Mustapha, who gave the warning yesterday during the daily press briefing by the task force in Abuja, warned that such visits were potentially dangerous to public health.
He, however, called on state governments, local government council authorities as well as security agencies; to afford farmers unfettered access, noting that Nigeria could not afford food insecurity as the nation's security depended on its food security.
Mustapha also pointed to the fact that the testing strategy adopted by the task force had proven to be successful, even as it had confirmed the fact that Nigeria now had the capacity to give care to all those who needed it.

Eastern Libya's strongman General Khalifa Haftar said oil production would restart soon, ending the 8 months blockade of the nation's oild fields, that has caused a 10 billion dollars loss in revenue according to National Petroleum Company (NOC).
\" (We have decided on) the resumption of the production and export of oil with all the necessary conditions that ensure a fair distribution of its financial revenues so that they not be used to support terrorist militias or be exposed to robbery and looting \" said General Commander of the Libyan Arab Armed Forces Khalifa Haftar in a televised address.
Haftar's Libyan National Army and the UN-recognised Government of National Accord of Tripoli have both agreed last month to cease all combat operations and plan elections in the next 18 months.
The two parties plan to discuss a demilitarisation of the city of Sirta, Libya’s gateway to major oil fields and export terminals, to finally put an end to Libya's 10 year long crisis.
Haftar's forces, backed by Russia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, control the country's major oil fields and terminals.
However, The Tripoli-based National Oil Corporation remained skeptical, and previous attempts to end the oil blockade have repeatedly broken down.
Despite having the largest oil reserves in Africa, the blockade in place these last few months has exacerbated electricity and fuel shortages in the country.
