Yes, it is possible, although not very likely. At least it will not affect your flooring and will not expose anyone in the room. If you don't use a vapor barrier, the moisture emissions will be absorbed into the bottom of the floor and potentially cause cupping and damage your floor. The manufacturer will not warrant their flooring without it.
