Do i need shims for brakes (2010 Prius)

Hi,

I just replaced my rear brakes for my 2010 prius. It was my first time replacing brakes. At the time, I did not have replacement shims and just installed the pads without shims.
Are shims necessary for my brake pads? SShould I go back and put on the shims? also What do shims do?
(currrently there is no noise or anything from the rear pads; everything seems to be ok).
