No.
'index' and 'follow' are the default values for the robots meta - any 
robot will assume these values if there is no robots meta element on 
the page.
You only need to include them if you are resetting them to eg 'noindex' 
or 'nofollow', etc.

Of course, it isn't *wrong* to include them, just redundant.
