Is it ok to get any covid-19 vaccine that is available now and then get the preferred covid-19 vaccine (such as by pfizer)later on after 1 to 2 months or so once its easily available? or getting two vaccines against same virus will create problems ?

Oxford University is conducting a trial in mixing different vaccines. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-55924433 Trial results are expected in June. Some scientists think that mixing different vaccines may improve the immune response https://www.gov.uk/government/news/world-first-covid-19-alternating-dose-vaccine-study-launches-in-uk

At this time, mixing vaccines such as Pfizer and Moderna is not recommended. However, it was stated that booster vaccines which are currently in human trials may be effective with any of the initial vaccines. Please don't try to get multiple unnecessary vaccines doses- as you may be depriving someone else of getting vaccinated which would be really selfish.
