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.

Given the unusual circumstances, the Finance ministers struck an optimistic posture, perhaps trying to lift the spirits of a region weighed down by the ripple effects of varying levels of Covid-19 related lockdowns in three of the member states.
In Uganda, Finance Minister Matia Kasaijja who expects to finance 75 per cent of his plan from domestic resources flexed the tax collectors target from Ush20.5 trillion to Ush21 trillion.
The other possibility is that having been firmed up well before the coronavirus crisis, there was little time to adjust for present realities beyond some stimulus and the Finance ministers will soon be back in parliament to present amendments.
The challenge for any African Finance minister in the present circumstances is that it is difficult to cut social spending because present budgets are already below minimum thresholds.
With that stark reality at the back of their mind, the ministers appear to be gambling on the odds that the adverse impacts of the coronavirus crisis will abate early in the new financial year.

Senegal, one of West Africa’s largest economies, has torn up its tax treaty with Mauritius as debate rages over the island tax haven’s impact on developing economies.
Senegal unilaterally ended its double non-taxation treaty, or DTA, with Mauritius without fanfare earlier this year – and it is only now coming to the attention of tax officials in the region.
In the 2018 West Africa Leaks investigation, ICIJ revealed that a Canadian engineering giant avoided paying up to $8.9 million in taxes to Senegal with the help of a shell company in Mauritius.
ICIJ spoke to officials from Zambia, Lesotho, Uganda and the Republic of Congo who are seeking to modify treaties with Mauritius because the current deals are costing poorer countries millions of dollars in lost tax revenue each year.
One Senegalese official who wished to remain anonymous told ICIJ that it was important to cancel the treaty with Mauritius as soon as possible because recent oil and gas discoveries will bring an influx of investment to the West African nation.
