You can confirm this with the patient information pamphlet that comes with your pill pack, but most birth control pill instructions say that if you miss one pill, take it as soon as you remember, then there is no need for back-up protection.
In other words, no, you should not worry about missing one pill, this one time.
Please know that if you continue to "miss only one pill" often, however, that this would change the effectiveness rate of the pill. Have some back-up condoms, just in case, to save yourself any worry!
