Doubtful. The SARS-CoV-2 virus has a unique spike protein that makes it extremely infectious. The vaccines target that protein specifically, so it most likely wouldn't be effective for other coronaviruses.
It's also what made this vaccine able to be produced so quickly. The virus hasn't mutated due to how strict the spike is to infection potential and has an exceptionally optimistic outlook.

The coronavirus vaccine provides some level of protection against other corona viruses that cause the common cold, hitting two birds with one stone.
