Installed an under sink water filter but skipped the flushing step

I installed an under-sink RO this weekend. The setup was fairly simple with just a few connections. After finishing, I wasn’t sure if I needed to flush the filters first. I ended up skipping that step and started using the water right away. I’m wondering if that’s okay or if flushing is necessary. Also curious whether skipping the flush could have any effect on health.
