I accepted a handoff on Aircraft X; a M20 level at 030; on a vector westbound from ZZZ1 that was requesting an RNAV approach to [Runway] XX at ZZZ. I was working several other aircraft and allowed Aircraft X to continue on that heading while I worked other aircraft. I became distracted as an aircraft called to request Class B clearance to an airport that would be a conflict to Arrival sectors and then again when they stated their intention to climb above the Class B; which would also be a conflict for Arrival sectors. I tagged and identified the aircraft and coordinated with the overlying arrival sector of the aircraft's intentions. During this time I was distracted; Aircraft X was continuing westbound level at 030 and approaching the 034 Minimum Vectoring Area north of ZZZ2. When I realized that Aircraft X was entering a higher Minimum Vectoring Area at a lower altitude; I turned Aircraft X southbound to exit the Minimum Vectoring Area and issued them a climb up to the Minimum Vectoring Area (034).It was an honest mistake; I need to be more vigilant in my scan so as not to get overly focused on one thing to the detriment of another. Another thing I could have done would be to issue a vector earlier that would delay any potential Minimum Vectoring Area conflicts so that if I did prioritize other aircraft then it wouldn't become an issue.
A TRACON Controller reported they vectored an aircraft below the Minimum Vectoring Altitude.
