Kind of.

Rookie minicamps start in about 2-3 weeks.

The amount of time needed for the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine to take full effect is ~ 5 weeks (3 weeks between 1st and 2nd dose, then 2 weeks of waiting after 2nd dose).

Unless a player got vaccinated prior to the draft or just got the J&J single-shot, they won't have the full effect of the vaccine prior to minicamp.
