That really depends on which vaccine. There are several inactivated virus vaccines such as Sinovac used in other countries which we would expect to produce antibodies for more than just the spike protein. However it's unclear whether those vaccines are more or less effective in practice.

Are there such vaccines available in the US? It seems like those would make for effective boosters.

There are no inactivated virus vaccines authorized in the US. I'm not aware of any research on the effectiveness of using such vaccines as boosters after other types of vaccines.

Valneva has an inactivated virus vaccine and they will soon apply for authorisation (phase 3 i think right now)

I think on a personal basis all of them are better than nothing. It's like advice about taking the first bus out of town.
