missed pill?

Hi,
I have a question about the pill. On my third week of my last cycle I was sick and threw up less than an hour after taking my pill and I'm not sure if it absorbed properly. I continued to take the remaining pills as usual and started my period shortly after, and I have not had sex since a week before this happened. I start my new pill pack tomorrow. My question is, should I take 7 active pills before having sex just in case the pill did not absorb? If so, is 7 days enough to make sure that I'm completely protected? Thank you!
