According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the best way to avoid the spread of flu-like viruses, such as Influenza, is by getting vaccinated every year. The most common way people contract the flu is from exposure to other people with flu-like symptoms.
Aside from vaccinations, the best way to curb the spread of viruses is daily preventative actions, such as hand washing, covering coughs and sneezes, as well as wearing masks when sick with cold symptoms.
