s'approcher is a pronominal verb
the "s' " part is a reflexive pronoun. When used in a sentence, it needs to match the actual subject, even in the infinitive

[candid flume]

So it's also not "vous vous approcher"?

[vast linden]

that's not the conjugated verb here
the main verb is "éviter"

[candid flume]

Oooh okay, merci

[vast linden]

avoid to [verb] => éviter de [infinitive]
the verb "éviter" is conjugated as "évitez" (imperative)
and "s'approcher" (to get close) is not conjugated, you still use the infinitive but replace "s' " with the appropriate reflexive pronoun. Because your sentence uses "vous", the appropriate reflexive pronoun is "vous"
"évitez de vous approcher"

Ooohh wow I see! Thank you

[clear drum]

When you say that the first vous is a subject pronoun (the second one is the reflexive pronoun) and an infinitive can't have a subject

So you can't say tu te doucher, but you can say te doucher like in tu dois te doucher
