The aircraft was joining an airway and the Minimum Enroute Altitude (MEA) was 10000 feet. The aircraft was at 7000 feet on a different airway before this point. He had to ask me for a climb and then that is when I noticed the MEA was higher. I climbed him and he was still above the MVA so safe for terrain. Then my attention was elsewhere and his climb rate had slowed he was in the 8700 foot MVA at 8800 feet but I estimate he did enter that MVA below 8700 feet based on climb rate. I should have put aircraft on a vector to remain within the 6400 foot MVA until I was sure they could meet the 8700 foot MVA and then vector to rejoin the airway.
A Controller reported they vectored an aircraft below the Minimum Vectoring Altitude.
