The aim of the present article is twofold. We first give a survey on recent developments on the distribution of symbols in polynomial subsequences of the Thue-Morse sequence t = (t(n)) n≥0 by highlighting effective results. Secondly, we give explicit bounds on min{n : (t(pn), t(qn)) = (ε1, ε2)}, for odd integers p, q, and on min{n : (t(n h 1), t(n h 2)) = (ε1, ε2)} where h1, h2 ≥ 1, and (ε1, ε2) is one of (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0), (1, 1).
