Technically, it supplies both at the same time, however, you could argue that the common carotid artieries (the main vessels supplying your head) reach the medulla first. Mainly because the whole cortex takes longer to be vascularized, however, we are probably talking milliseconds here. Also, the medulla receives blood vessels from the vertebral arteries, which are a branch of the subclavian artery, which is a more direct root. Hope this helps!
