It looks to me like you’re assuming entirely one dose vaccines. The math gets substantially worse if the 2-dose options are playing major roles, which I thought they would be.

No, I'm assuming about a third of the vaccines are one-dose.

Here's a google sheet. I made two different models. They both end up in the ballpark of 110-120 million fully vaccinated assuming no increase in vaccine supply (if J&J is 1/3rd).https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nHnmrf_2x7yHvhvdNUHTDadC76RTaCJGyhKuLSNosVA/edit#gid=517853436 …

I wonder what I did. Sorry to waste your time.

The key surprise (that I also missed) was that German assumed 1/3rd of doses were J&J. That boosts the final number of fully vaccinated a fair bit.

Some other things can also push the numbers up, too: Is there a few days lag on vaccine reporting? Will some people never get second doses? Could J&J make up more than a third of vaccines? All of this is why I treat the estimates as a bit fuzzy. Point is we're in the ballpark.
