Would it be true to say that when flying the King Air, there is a difference between liftoff speed and take off safety speed?

I seem to recall there is a short period of time after takeoff when a King Air is vulnerable to engine failure as it is below Vmca (Vtoss?). I believe this is mitigated by fitment of rudder-boost, but not totally alleviated.

Can anyone elaborate?

Condolences and thoughts to the families involved.
